New York : Palgrave Macmillan, c2016 vi, 290 pages Palgrave studies in animals and literature. 9781137520661 2015022373 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.This volume explores how twentieth- and twenty-first-century literary texts engage with relationships between humans and other animals. Written by forward-thinking early-career scholars, as well as established experts in the field, the chapters discuss key texts in the emergent canon of animal narratives, including Franz Kafka's animal stories, Yann Martel's The Life of Pi, Zakes Mda's The Whale Caller, and others. The volume is divided into four main sections. Two period-focused sections center on modernism and on late-twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction, while two further sections foreground the more general project of theory building in literary animal studies, examining interconnections among concepts of species, sexuality, gender, and genre. The volume also raises issues that extend beyond the academic community, including ethical dimensions of human-animal relationships and the problems of species loss and diminishing biodiversity.Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,2634-6346LiteratureLiteraturePhilosophyCultureStudy and teachingLiterature, Modern20th centuryEuropean literatureWorld LiteratureLiterary TheoryCultural TheoryTwentieth-Century LiteratureEuropean LiteratureLiterature.LiteraturePhilosophy.CultureStudy and teaching.Literature, ModernEuropean literature.World Literature.Literary Theory.Cultural Theory.Twentieth-Century Literature.European Literature.809/.93362Herman Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut932449Herman David1962-BOOK9910255228903321Creatural Fictions2526114UNINA
