Focusing on the correlation between humans and dogs in traditional belief systems, in literature, film and other cultural productions, it shows that the dog as a political construct incorporates various contradictions, with different representations investing the dog with multiple, often-paradoxical meanings ? moral, social and philosophical. From the peasantry?s dislike of the gentry?s hunting dogs and children?s cruelty to dogs in Pushkin and Dostoevsky to the establishment of the Soviet dynasties of border guard and police dogs, from Pavlov?s laboratory dogs to the monuments to the cosmic dog Laika and the subversive dog impersonations by the contemporary performance artist Oleg Kulik, the book explores the intersections of species-class-gender-sexuality-race-disability and, paradoxically, of Arcadian and Utopian dreams and scientific deeds. This study contributes to the unfolding cultural history of human-animal relations across cultures. 410 0$aStudies in Slavic literature and poetics ;$vVolume 59. 606 $aDogs 606 $aDog breeds 606 $aPuppies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDogs. 615 0$aDog breeds. 615 0$aPuppies. 676 $a636.7 700 $aMondry$b Henrietta$0860283 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460494703321 996 $aPolitical animal$91919510 997 $aUNINA
