Reading Cats and Dogs

Companion Animals in World Literature

Herausgeber: Besson, Françoise; Marroum, Marianne; Bora, Zélia M.

Beschreibung

Reading Cats and Dogs offers fifteen examples of ecocritical animal studies from around the world. The essays in this volume complicate the concept of "companion animals" by exploring our relationships with stray and feral animals, utilitarian relationships with other species, and the troubling realities of domestication, ownership, and abuse.
