Affect, Space and Animals (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Nyman, Jopi; Schuurman, Nora

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book highlights the importance of the ways in which affect enables animal agency and subjectivity to emerge in encounters between humans and animals in different contexts, leading to different configurations. It contributes not only to debates concerning the role of animals in society but also to the epistemological development of the field of human-animal studies.
