description
From the pet that we live with and care for, to news items such as animal cloning, and the use of various creatures in film, television and advertising, animals are a constant presence in our lives. Animal is a timely overview of the many ways in which we live with animals, and assesses many of the paradoxes of our relationships with them: for example, why is the pet that sits by the dinner table never for eating? Examining novels such as Charlotte's Web, films such as Old Yeller and Babe, science and advertising, fashion and philosophy, Animal also evaluates the ways in which we think about animals and challenges a number of the assumptions we hold. Why is it, for example, that animals are such a constant presence in children's literature? And what does it mean to wear fake fur? Is fake fur an ethical avoidance of animal suffering, or merely a sanitized version of the unacceptable use of animals as clothing? Neither evangelical nor proselytizing, Animal invites the reader to think beyond the boundaries of a subject that has a direct effect on our day-to-day lives.

They can be man's best friend, laboratory specimen, film star or Sunday roast. We want them to like us, even to be like us, yet we do not want to be like them. Human-animal relationships are riddled with contradictions. In this thought-provoking overview, Erica Fudge examines the conflicting attitudes to animals which we have come to consider normal. Drawing from literature, film and philosophy, the Bible and Babe, Descartes and Derrida, The Wind in the Willows and the NASA space missions, she challenges our everyday assumptions about their position. What does it mean to wear fake fur? How can we assess animal intelligence if we use human criteria? And, if animals could speak would we really want to hear what they had to say? With the advance of animal cloning, animals have a more complex role in our culture than ever before. Whether you love them, live with them, eat them, or wear them, Animal will make you look at your fellow creatures in a radically new way. -- From back cover
