DeVries uncovers a tradition in Spanish American literature where animal-ethical representations anticipate many of the most pressing concerns from present debates in animal studies. The author documents moments from the corpus that articulate long-standing positions such as a defense of animal rights or advocacy for liberationism, that engage in literary philosophical meditations concerning mind theory and animal sentience, and that anticipate current ideas from Critical Animal Studies including the rejection of hierarchical differentiations between the categories human and nonhuman. Creature Discomfort innovates the notion of ?fauna-criticism? as a new literary approach within animal studies; this kind of analysis emphasizes the reframing of literary history to expound animal ethical positions from literary texts, both those that have been considered canonical as well as those that have long been neglected. In this study, DeVries employs fauna-criticism to examine nonhuman sentience, animal interiority, and other ethical issues such as the livestock and pet industries, circuses, zoos, hunting, and species extinction in fictional narrative and poetry from the nineteenth century, modernista , Regional, indigenista , and contemporary periods of Spanish American literature. 410 0$aCritical animal studies ;$vVolume 4. 606 $aSpanish American fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish American poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAnimals in literature 606 $aEcology in literature 606 $aEnvironmentalism in literature 615 0$aSpanish American fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish American poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAnimals in literature. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism in literature. 676 $a860.9/362 700 $aDeVries$b Scott M.$f1973-$01524076 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798108803321 996 $aCreature discomfort$93764574 997 $aUNINA
