Critical animal studies is increasingly interfacing with tourism research in an effort to shed light on the various ways animals are incorporated into touristic experience. Exploring non-human work in tourism: From beasts of burden to animal ambassadors builds upon the theoretical connections of animal ethics, agency, and welfare as it foregrounds specifically the work that animals perform in the industry. While some types of animal labor are more readily identified, readers of this volume may be surprised by how many forms of animal labor are overlooked. Taking a widely international perspective, with cases from the Arctic, China, Costa Rica, China, Finland, Greece, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, this volume offers readers diverse scenarios of animals working. The book is arranged along three themes of work. Performative work focuses on the animals whose performances are front and center of tourists' motivations and experiences. Value-added work turns attention to the co-working relationships of animals, while the political work of animals as ambassadors and icons is examined within the chapters on hidden labor. Additionally, the book makes theoretical considerations of the implications of positioning animals as workers and offers reflections on ways this focus on working animals extends current scholarship in the field.

Cet ouvrage, fruit d'une longue enquête, se propose de retracer l'histoire longue du moteur animal, de ses mutations et de sa contribution à la fabrique du monde moderne. Désormais oubliée, ou considérée comme une pratique périmée, la mobilisation des animaux tournant en rond pour produire de la force et actionner des appareils mécaniques a pourtant accompagné l'expansion de l'Europe, nourri l'extractivisme, offert un moteur bon marché aux premières usines comme aux paysans, avant d'inspirer les recherches contemporaines d'alternatives aux combustibles fossiles. Le travail des animaux offrait en effet une source d'énergie familière, flexible et bon marché, incarnant un "progrès avec prudence" alors que s'installaient l'Anthropocène et ses grands équipements. L'exhumation de cette pratique, depuis ses premiers usages antiques jusqu'à son apogée au XIXe siècle, puis sa survie souterraine jusqu'à aujourd'hui, vient interroger la condition animale et les enjeux énergétiques en décalant les regards habituels. Explorer le rôle et les usages de l'animal prolétaire permet de penser l'évolution du statut des bêtes, mais aussi les liens qu'elles entretiennent avec les autres acteurs au travail. Alors que les appels à décarboner et à sortir des énergies fossiles se multiplient, ce livre s'efforce de retrouver des modes de vies oubliés et de redonner à voir des collaborations entre humains et non-humains largement invisibilisées par les récits dominants.
