Working Title: Theorizing Animals
Edited by Nicola Taylor & Tania Signal
Challenges to existing paradigms appear in many forms and perhaps the most recent, and possibly the most serious, has presented itself in the form of the burgeoning field of human-animal studies. Contributions are therefore sought for an edited collection which will address current theoretical approaches towards human-animal relations. We anticipate that this multi-disciplinary collection will include works informed by social scientific, psychological, philosophical, and political disciplines though literary and cultural studies perspectives will also be considered. Articles examining any aspect of human-animal relations are welcomed; we are not limiting this collection to an examination of human-companion animal studies. We expect to place this book with a major academic trade press.
Questions are welcome and should be directed as below.
