Animals and Their People
Connecting East and West in Cultural Animal Studies
Series: - Human-Animal Studies, Volume: 21
Animals and Their People: Connecting East and West in Cultural Animal Studies, edited by Anna Barcz and Dorota Åagodzka, provides a zoocentric insight into philosophical, artistic, and literary problems in Western, Anglo-American, and Central-Eastern European context. The contributors go beyond treating humans as the sole object of research and comprehension, and focus primarily on non-human animals. This book results from intellectual exchange between Polish and foreign researchers and highlights cultural perspective as an exciting language of animal representation. Animals and Their People aims to bridge the gap between Anglo-American and Central European human-animal studies.
Anna Barcz, Ph.D., is an independent researcher and the author of Ecorealism: From Ecocriticism to Zoocriticism in Polish Literature (Katowice 2016), Animal Narratives and Culture: Vulnerable Realism (Newcastle upon Tyne 2017), and many research articles on the environment and culture.
Dorota Åagodzka is an art historian, lecturer, art exhibitions curator, and coordinator of the Anthropozoology Studies program at the Faculty of âArtes Liberales,â at the University of Warsaw. She is also the recipient of two research grants from the National Science Centre Poland.
