The author interrogates: 1) How did guardians and their companion animals survive the large disaster?; 2) Why was the relationship between guardians and their companion animals ignored during and after a disaster?; and 3) What structures and/or mechanisms shaped the outcomes for animals and their guardians? Through a critical realist framework, combined with a theoretical perspective developed by Roy Bhaskar and his colleagues, the author argues that despite the trivialization of companion animals by government officials, relationships between animals and guardians were often able to be maintained, in some cases through great pains by the guardians. While the notion of human-animal relationships in Japan has thus far been dominated by economic logic, the author reveals dynamics between guardians and companion animal transcend such structures, forging the concept of "bonding rights.".Palgrave Studies in Animals and Social Problems,2946-4684Social sciencesPhilosophyVeterinary medicineEnvironmental policySociologySociology, UrbanEthnologyAsiaCultureSocial TheoryVeterinary ScienceEnvironmental PolicySociologyUrban SociologyAsian CultureSocial sciencesPhilosophy.Veterinary medicine.Environmental policy.Sociology.Sociology, Urban.EthnologyCulture.Social Theory.Veterinary Science.Environmental Policy.Sociology.Urban Sociology.Asian Culture.304.20952300Kajiwara Hazukiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut892263MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910411927903321Surviving with Companion Animals in Japan1992456UNINA
