Section I presents studies of actual animals demonstrating agency; Section II moves agency into new terrain while considering key representations of animal agency in literature; Section III analyzes animals as mediators and as conveyances of human-to-human communication;and Section IV investigates the agency of beings who defy conventional species categories. The Envoi demonstrates how the microscopic polyp is interwoven into notions of agency and mythical superagency. This volume's interdisciplinary explorations press hard on issues of agency to open up space for more questions about how we can understand relationships between the human and the nonhuman. 410 0$aHuman-animal studies ;$vv. 8. 606 $aAnimal welfare 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnimal welfare. 676 $a179/.3 701 $aMcFarland$b Sarah E$0936955 701 $aHediger$b Ryan$0936956 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454933203321 996 $aAnimals and agency$92110291 997 $aUNINA
