Acampora -- $tList of contributors -- $tIndex. 330 $aThe ways in which we represent animals say much about who we are, who we strive to be, and our often conflicting ideas about our relationships with nonhuman species. Whether the animal is seen as someone with whom we can relate and feel kinship or conceived of as the radical other, popular cultural descriptions of animals are often ? if not always ? indirect descriptions of ourselves. The contributions to this volume offer a unique panorama of academic and literary approaches, demonstrating that an analysis of cultural representations and constructions of animals is indispensable for a better understanding of the interface of human culture and the so-called animal world. 410 0$aNature, Culture and Literature$v10. 606 $aHuman-animal relationships 606 $aHuman-animal relationships$2fast 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships. 615 7$aHuman-animal relationships. 676 $a590 701 $aTu?u?r$b Kadri$01549572 701 $aTønnessen$b Morten$f1976-$01549573 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795341003321 996 $aThe semiotics of animal representations$93807715 997 $aUNINA
