Description

Thinking with Animals: New Perspectives on Anthropomorphism by Lorraine Daston and Gregg Mitman explores how humans use animals to transcend the confines of self and species. This innovative collection examines the ways in which anthropomorphic thinking has shaped our understanding of both animals and what it means to be human. From Victorian vivisectionists to contemporary pet ownership, anthropomorphic thinking has had a profound impact on our relationships with animals. The contributors to this book investigate the changing patterns of anthropomorphism across different time periods and settings, revealing its transformative effects on animals, humans, and their interactions. Through essays by prominent scholars in anthropology, ethology, history, and philosophy, as well as filmmakers and photographers, Thinking with Animals sheds new light on the complex and multifaceted nature of anthropomorphism.
