Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book investigates relations between humans and animals over |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
several centuries with a focus on the Middle Ages, since important features of our perceptions regarding animals have been rooted in that period. Elucidating various aspects of medieval human-animal relationships requires transdisciplinary discourse, and so this book aims to reconcile the materiality of animals with complex cultural systems illustrating their subtle transitions 'between body and mind'. |
