Samantha Hurn explores the work of anthropologists and scholars from related disciplines concerned with the growing field of anthrozoology. Case studies from a wide range of cultural contexts are discussed, and readers are invited to engage with a diverse range of human-animal interactions including blood sports (such as hunting, fishing and bull fighting), pet keeping and 'petishism', eco-tourism and wildlife conservation, working animals and animals as food. The idea of animal exploitation raised by the animal rights movements is considered, as well as the anthropological implications of changing attitudes towards animal personhood, and the rise of a posthumanist philosophy in the social sciences more generally. Key debates surrounding these issues are raised and assessed and, in the process, readers are encouraged to consider their own attitudes towards other animals and, by extension, what it means to be human."--Publisher's website. 410 0$aAnthropology, culture, and society. 517 3 $aCross-cultural perspectives on human-animal interactions 606 $aHuman-animal relationships 606 $aAnimals$xPsychological aspects 606 $aAnimals and civilization 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships. 615 0$aAnimals$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aAnimals and civilization. 676 $a304.2 700 $aHurn$b Samantha$0893987 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779139103321 996 $aHumans and other animals$93757889 997 $aUNINA
