The Situationality of Human-Animal Relations

Perspectives from Anthropology and Philosophy. Edited by Thiemo Breyer and Thomas Widlok.

This anthology presents various case studies of situations in which humans and animals come into contact and asks for the anthropological and philosophical implications of such encounters. The contributions by renowned scholars such as Albert Piette and Kazuyoshi Sugawara present multidisciplinary methodological reflections on concepts such as embodiment, emplacement, or the »conditio animalia« (in addition to the »conditio humana«) as well as a consideration of the term »situationality« within the field of anthropology. 222 Seiten mit 15 Farb- und vier s/w-Abb., broschiert (Human-Animal Studies; Vol. 15/transcript Verlag 2018) untere Ecke leicht geknickt/upper corner slightly bumped and creased
