Beyond the Human-Animal Divide

Zusatztext

This volume explores the potential of the concept of the creaturely for thinking and writing beyond the idea of a clear-cut human-animal divide, presenting innovative perspectives and narratives for an age which increasingly confronts us with the profound ecological, ethical and political challenges of a multispecies world. The text explores written work such as Samuel Becketts<i>Worstward Ho</i> and Michel Foucault's<i>The Order of Things,</i>video media such as the film "Creature Comforts" and the video game<i>Into the Dead,</i>and photography. With chapters written by an international group of philosophers, literary and cultural studies scholars, historians and others, the volume brings together established experts and forward-thinking early career scholars to provide an interdisciplinary engagement with ways of thinking and writing the creaturely to establish a postanthropocentric sense of human-animal relationality.<p><b></b></p>
