Examining a wide range of works, from Gulliver's Travels to The Hunger Games, Representing the Modern Animal in Culture employs key theoretical apparatuses of Animal Studies to literary texts. Contributors address the multifarious modes of animal representation and the range of human-animal interactions that have emerged in the past 300 years.Representing the Modern Animal in Culture is a collection of twelve essays that investigate representations of animals and of the lives they share with humans. Starting with the eighteenth century but focusing on primarily the nineteenth century through the present day, the essays in Representing the Modern Animal address two sets of differences: the multifarious modes of representations that have materialized from the publication of Gulliver's Travels to The Hunger Games, and the range of animal lives, and human-animal relationships, that have emerged over this time.

520 1 $a From purebred horses and stray dogs to genetic bunnies and monkey vampires, this lively collection of essays reflects the expanding range of topics opened by the field of animal studies. Focusing on the ways we humans have represented our interactions with other animals in the modern era, and the ways such representations can matter for human and non-human lives, the collection brings to light how the experience of modernity is tied up with our real and imagined relations to other species. - Kari Weil, University Professor of Letters, Wesleyan University, USA Out of sight, out of mind? The essays in this book identify the tension between the disappearance and presence of the animal subject, with a focus on literature. These intriquing and challenging explorations enrich our understanding that seeing isn't just believing, it's feeling, it's caring. They challenge us to engage in the process of finding a way to be thoughtful about the predicament humans have created for the other animals and ourselves. - Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat A multi-species world of its own, this collection deftly consolidates crucial new work in animal studies around questions of representation. With crystalline and evocative readings that attend to biopolitical species frameworks, creatures entwined with national, cultural, and scientific knowledge, and to various companionate and agential animals in their particularities, these essays attest to the thrilling range of enlivened thinking that animals invite us to undertake right now in the humanities. - Carrie Rohman, Assistant Professor of English, Lafayette College, USA and author of Stalking the Subject: Modernism and the Animal.
