Animals in Focus: Creative and Social Imagination
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.3986/Traditio2024530101Keywords:
animals, representations, folklore, literature, film, animal-human relations, critical animal studies, imagination, animal bodyAbstract
Placing animals in focus through imagination and reality, we are thinking about their position in new ontological paradigms in a multidisciplinary way. The article presents the relationship between man and animal through folklore, literature, film, language, and photography. The authors derive their research from the theoretical discourses of ecocentrism, new animism, ecocriticism, semiology, antispeciesism, cognitive ethological studies, and critical animal studies.
