Animal Biography: Re-framing Animal Lives (Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature)
by André Krebber Mieke RoscherWhile historiography is dominated by attempts that try to standardize and de-individualize the behavior of animals, history proves to be littered with records of the exceptional lives of unusual animals. This book introduces animal biography as an approach to the re-framing of animals as both objects of knowledge as well as subjects of individual lives. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective and bringing together scholars from, among others, literary, historical and cultural studies, the texts collected in this volume seek to refine animal biography as a research method and framework to studying, capturing, representing and acknowledging animal others as individuals. From Heini Hediger’s biting monitor, Hachikō and Murr to celluloid ape Caesar and the mourning of Topsy’s gruesome death, the authors discuss how animal biographies are discovered and explored through connections with humans that can be traced in archives, ethological fieldwork and novels, and probe the means of constructing animal biographies from taxidermy to film, literature and social media. Thus, they invite deeper conversations with socio-political and cultural contexts that allow animal biographies to provide narratives that reach beyond individual life stories, while experimenting with particular forms of animal biographies that might trigger animal activism and concerns for animal well-being, spur historical interest and enrich the literary imagination.
Animal Bodies, Renaissance Culture
by Karen RaberAnimal Bodies, Renaissance Culture examines how the shared embodied existence of early modern human and nonhuman animals challenged the establishment of species distinctions. The material conditions of the early modern world brought humans and animals into complex interspecies relationships that have not been fully accounted for in critical readings of the period's philosophical, scientific, or literary representations of animals. Where such prior readings have focused on the role of reason in debates about human exceptionalism, this book turns instead to a series of cultural sites in which we find animal and human bodies sharing environments, mutually transforming and defining one another's lives.To uncover the animal body's role in anatomy, eroticism, architecture, labor, and consumption, Karen Raber analyzes canonical works including More's Utopia, Shakespeare's Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, and Sidney's poetry, situating them among readings of human and equine anatomical texts, medical recipes, theories of architecture and urban design, husbandry manuals, and horsemanship treatises. Raber reconsiders interactions between environment, body, and consciousness that we find in early modern human-animal relations. Scholars of the Renaissance period recognized animals' fundamental role in fashioning what we call "culture," she demonstrates, providing historical narratives about embodiment and the cultural constructions of species difference that are often overlooked in ecocritical and posthumanist theory that attempts to address the "question of the animal."

Animal Characters
by Bruce Thomas BoehrerDuring the Renaissance, horses--long considered the privileged, even sentient companions of knights-errant--gradually lost their special place on the field of battle and, with it, their distinctive status in the world of chivalric heroism. Parrots, once the miraculous, articulate companions of popes and emperors, declined into figures of mindless mimicry. Cats, which were tortured by Catholics in the Middle Ages, were tortured in the Reformation as part of the Protestant attack on Catholicism. And sheep, the model for Agnus Dei imagery, underwent transformations at once legal, material, and spiritual as a result of their changing role in Europe's growing manufacturing and trade economies. While in the Middle Ages these nonhumans were endowed with privileged social associations, personal agency, even the ability to reason and speak, in the early modern period they lost these qualities at the very same time that a new emphasis on, and understanding of, human character was developing in European literature.In Animal Characters Bruce Thomas Boehrer follows five species--the horse, the parrot, the cat, the turkey, and the sheep--through their appearances in an eclectic mix of texts, from romances and poetry to cookbooks and natural histories. He shows how dramatic changes in animal character types between 1400 and 1700 relate to the emerging economy and culture of the European Renaissance. In early modern European culture, animals not only served humans as sources of labor, companionship, clothing, and food; these nonhuman creatures helped to form an understanding of personhood. Incorporating readings of Shakespeare's plays, Milton's Paradise Lost, Margaret Cavendish's Blazing World, and other works, Boehrer's series of animal character studies illuminates a fascinating period of change in interspecies relationships.

Animal de nieve
by Dara ScullyDara Scully nos transporta con Animal de nieve a un lugar aislado y frío donde la directora de un internado femenino impone una férrea disciplina en las alumnas, hasta que la llegada de un nuevo profesor hace que una ellas rompa el molde y reclame su propia existencia. «Las alumnas especulaban. Un hombre había penetrado en sus dominios, en su colegio de paredes de piedra, de entramados de flores en los jardines. ¿Acaso se aventuraban a decirlo? ¿Era tal vez un maestro? ¿Se atrevería Miss Bell a dejar que un hombre enseñara a las muchachas?» Animal de nieve es la segunda novela de la fotógrafa Dara Scully, cuyo arte ha conseguido enredar a sus miles de seguidores en un mundo de cuerpos mágicos, escenas hipnóticas y animales heridos. Precisamente todas esas cosas son las que componen el universo de este libro, con una historia unas veces deliciosa y otras claustrofóbica sobre un internado para niñas regentado por una misteriosa directora. De entre todas las alumnas, Angélica se sabe diferente al resto. Tal vez sea su ímpetu, o su curiosidad, tal vez sean sus nervios, o sus ansias de belleza, pero ella reconoce que ese colegio es demasiado sombrío. Que necesita salir de allí y ser libre. Será tras la llegada al colegio de Frédéric, el nuevo profesor de música, cuando todos esos sentimientos terminen por estallar en su corazón. Él es un hombre que ha visto más allá de los muros del internado y que, pese a todo, se enfrenta a los mismos fantasmas que las chicas. Animal de nieve es una novela lírica, sobrecogedora, que sigue la estela de la literatura de Fleur Jaeggy, Herta Müller o Marguerite Duras, y cuyas protagonistas recuerdan también a las nínfulas del arte de Virginia Mori o Sally Man.

Animal doméstico
by Mario HinojosAnimal doméstico es una novela sobre el duelo y la pérdida, una investigación sobre los límites que determinan el cruce incierto entre lo humano y lo animal cuando se impone la supervivencia. Dos hombres conversan en el laberinto complejo y desolado de una casa. Desmontan el trasunto de sus vidas, obligados al aislamiento que les impone el estallido de una guerra. Uno hace preguntas, el otro intenta responderlas. Afuera, una ciudad colonizada por la amenaza de un ejército de perros salvajes. Adentro, historias desentrañadas bajo la tutela de un terapeuta con métodos poco ortodoxos. Esta novela es una reflexión sobre la guerra, sobre sus pueblos y sus perros, y es también un examen sobre la orfandad del individuo y las civilizaciones. Para narrarla, Mario Hinojos construye un libro lleno de interrogantes: ¿qué es lo que queda de nosotros cuando aquello que creíamos nuestro hogar desaparece? ¿Hasta dónde estamos dispuestos a dejarnos domesticar para recuperar ese cobijo primigenio? Animal doméstico de Mario Hinojos es el cuarto título que Lara Moreno, editora invitada de Caballo de Troya durante 2017, trae a su colección «El caballo de Lara».
