Animal victims in post-Darwinian fiction
16 years ago
I came accross this quite well-written paper concerning animals:
"Animal sanctity and animal sacrifice: how post-Darwinian fiction treats animal victims" by Marian Scholtmeijer
If you like thinking about animals, about the ethical problems surrounding them, the (unjust or not) depictions of them in our culture and the reasons for that, you should probably find this very interesting, worth a read.
It's 300 pages worth of good observations and ideas, if you're short on time, just read the introduction - some very good points there, good for getting a taste of what the rest of the paper is like. Or if you're REALLY short on time, atleast read the abstract.

I feel there is some continuity between what the furry fandom produces now and the ways animals have been portrayed just before, but unluckily there is not much awareness of such continuity. The next step in the thread will be interesting.
I'll note down any idea I get as I read through the rest...
Btw, If you really need to print it, the ownership pass can be cracked quite easily using a pdf unlock tool. Drop me a note if you need it.
