This collection of essays offers multifaceted explorations of animal encounters in a range of philosophical, cultural, literary, and historical contexts. Exploring Animal Encounters encourages us to think about the richness and complexity of animal lives and human-animal relations, foregrounding the intricate roles nonhuman creatures play in the always already more-than-human sphere of ethics and politics. In this way, the essays in this volume can be understood as a contribution to alternative imaginings of interspecies coexistence in a time in which the issue of human relations with earth and earth others has come to the fore with unprecedented force and severity.
Reviews / Votes
"I was fascinated and excited by all the new ideas that populate this book as well as the mule deer, grizzly bears, monkeys, crabs, birds, wolves, baboons, orcas, and wild boars. Through engaging essays, we are offered diverse ways of being with, thinking about, living with, and discussing encounters with animals. One feels one's mind shift with the readings, and experiences a troubling of identity that is most welcome. I also found its influence reverberating, in a profound way, as it changed how a turtle and I encountered each other the other day." (Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat (1990) and Protest Kitchen, 2018)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
