Description

Explore the complex and contradictory nature of the bond between humans and animals with Animals in Person: Cultural Perspectives on Human-Animal Intimacies. Published by Routledge, this book examines how we navigate a relationship that is often both contradictory and deeply emotional. We find ourselves in a position where we hunt and eat animals, yet simultaneously offer them love, respect, and protection. This work investigates the ways we attribute human intelligence and emotions to other species, often treating animals like children or members of our own families. By looking at a wide range of case studies, the text attempts to unpack these fascinating links. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of cross-species intimacy through various lenses, including the care of livestock and the roles of pets in human society. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the sociological and anthropological aspects of how we live alongside the animal kingdom.
