Elle est là, tapie en nous. Nous la taisons, l'étouffons, l'exécrons. La « bête en nous » ramène à l'instinct, l'incontrôlable, l'immoral. S'éloigner d'elle nous rassure sur notre place dans l'univers. Comment en sommes-nous arrivés à penser notre animalité par opposition à notre humanité ? Ce raisonnement a-t-il une réalité scientifique ? L'Homme est-il si différent des animaux ? A-t-il une intelligence à part ? Est-il seul à aimer, pleurer, rire ? À posséder une morale ou à faire la guerre ? À travers les découvertes fascinantes réalisées par des éthologues, des anthropologues et des archéologues, ce livre décrypte nos comportements à la lumière de leurs racines animales et déconstruit les idées reçues. De quoi changer en profondeur notre regard sur « le royaume des bêtes » dont nous faisons partie...

"Human-animal studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the spaces that animals occupy in human social and cultural worlds. It examines the interactions humans and animals have with each other and the ways animal lives intersect with human societies. Since existing social orders rely on the exploitation of animals to serve human needs, the questions posed by human-animal studies touch upon a wide range of fundamental issues. Animals and Society provides a broad overview of this rapidly growing field. Margo DeMello offers students and scholars a holistic and comprehensive picture of the state of inquiry into the relationships that exist between humans and other animals. She considers interactions between animals and humans in social organizations, such as the family, the legal system, and political and religious institutions. A major focus is the social construction of animals in world cultures and the way in which these social meanings are used to reinforce and perpetuate hierarchical human relationships such as racism, sexism, and class privilege. The book also examines how different human groups construct a range of identities for themselves and for others through animals. This second edition of Animals and Society is fully updated and expanded throughout, enhancing the book's relevance for student and activist readers alike. It includes many new international examples, all-new case studies, and updated supplementary readings"--

Utilisant des témoignages écrits entre le milieu du XVIIIe siècle et le début du XXIe siècle, nourri d’éthologie et de sciences humaines et sociales, ce livre prolonge avec une audace entraînante le sillon original que poursuit Éric Baratay de livre en livre. Pour chacun des chats domestiques dont les sources permettent de reconstituer l’existence, l’auteur porte attention à leurs perceptions du monde, leurs sensations et leurs émotions, leur sensibilité et leur caractère, à leur expressivité corporelle, à leurs interactions avec l’environnement, les autres animaux et les humains. Se révèle ainsi, à travers des portraits serrés, la construction dynamique de ce que l’on peut appeler des cultures. Nous voici loin du portrait éternel du chat, indépendant, imprévisible, mystérieux, devenu un lieu commun. L’éthologie devient, sous la plume alerte d’Éric Baratay, une ethnologie. Chat de rue et de ferme, chat de compagnie, chat compagnon ou « chatchien », les chats montrent une grande plasticité de comportement. Ce livre établit qu’ils ont leurs cultures, changeantes, et donc leur histoire.

The Hellenistic Period witnessed striking new developments in art, literature and science. This volume addresses a particularly vibrant area of innovation: the study of animals and the natural world. While Aristotle and his followers had revolutionized fields such as zoology and botany during the fourth century BC, these disciplines took on exciting new directions during Hellenistic times. Kings imported exotic species into their royal capitals from faraway lands. Travel writers described unusual creatures that they had never previously encountered. And buyers from a range of social levels chose works of art featuring animals and plants to decorate their palaces, houses and tombs. While textual sources shed some light on these developments, the central premise of Art, Science and the Natural World in the Ancient Mediterranean is that our surviving artistic evidence permits a fuller understanding. Accordingly, the study brings together a rich body of visual material that invites new observations on how and why knowledge of the natural world became so important during this period. It is suggested that this cultural phenomenon affected many different groups in society: from kings in Alexandria and Pergamon to provincial aristocrats in the Levant, and from the Julio-Claudian imperial family to prosperous homeowners in Pompeii. By analysing the works of art produced for these individuals, a vivid picture emerges of this remarkable aspect of ancient culture.

In this Handbook, Karen Raber and Holly Dugan delve deep into Shakespeare's World to illuminate and understand the use of animals in his span of work"--
