Animal Testimony -- Index.Situated at the intersection of animal studies and literary theory, this book explores the remarkable and subtly pervasive web of animal imagery, metaphors, and concepts in the work of the Jewish-Italian writer, chemist, and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi (1919-1987). Relatively unexamined by scholars, the complex and extensive animal imagery Levi employed in his literary works offers new insights into the aesthetical and ethical function of testimony, as well as an original perspective on contemporary debates surrounding human-animal relationships and posthumanism. The three main sections that compose the book mirror Levi's approach to non-human animals and animality: from an unquestionable bio-ethical origin ("Suffering"); through an investigation of the relationships between writing, technology, and animality ("Techne"); to then enter upon a creative intellectual project in which literary animals both counterbalance the inevitable suffering of all creatures, and suggest a transformative image of interspecific community ("Creation").The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,2634-6680EthicsPhilosophy of mindSelfAnimal welfareMoral and ethical aspectsKnowledge, Theory ofLiterature, Modern20th centuryMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsPhilosophy of the SelfAnimal EthicsEpistemologyTwentieth-Century LiteratureEthics.Philosophy of mind.Self.Animal welfareMoral and ethical aspects.Knowledge, Theory of.Literature, ModernMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Philosophy of the Self.Animal Ethics.Epistemology.Twentieth-Century Literature.170Benvegnù Damianoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut930603BOOK9910300621403321Animals and Animality in Primo Levi’s Work2093272UNINA
