This book examines an extremely topical phenomenon, the massive industrial exploitation of animals, from a previously neglected perspective. It explores the history and development of animal industries in Nordic countries from their establishment in the late nineteenth century to the present day. These countries are often considered to be progressive and advanced in animal protection, but consumption practices in this area are actually excessive in relation to planetary resources and are among the most unsustainable on a global scale. If we want to understand current problems, it is essential to be aware of long-term changes and continuities, as well as the diversity of animals that have been exploited. The purpose of this book is to explain these changes and provide new knowledge for scholars in human-animal studies, decisionmakers and the general public.

Do animals work? Is it possible to work with animals without exploiting them? Might animals even be empowered through work? This provocative collection offers original answers to these questions and allows readers to think about human relationships with domestic animals beyond the well-trodden tropes of domination or animal welfare. To study animal work means to look at animals in new ways and to discover in them unsuspected skills and knowledge that open up new ethical and political horizons. »›Animal Labor‹ provides a more sophisticated defense of employment of animals than anything I have found in the Anglo-American world.« Boria Sax, Humanimalia, Herbst 2020 »Außergewöhnlicher, aber nötiger Einblick in die Mensch-Tier-Beziehung.« Jens Schäfer, Ox - Kochen ohne Knochen, 39/2 (2020) »At a time when more-than-human ontologies are on many disciplines agendas, »Animal Labor« is a thought-provoking volume that forges a path for a reconceptualization of human-animal interrelations and demonstrates that analyzing working animals is also one way to learn about ourselves as humans.« Hélène B. Ducros, www.europenowjournal.org, 28.02.2020 »In den einzelnen Fallstudien werden [...] interessante und teils neue Perspektiven auf das Mensch-Tier-Verhältnis im Arbeitskontext, aber auch auf Arbeit im Allgemeinen entwickelt und diskutiert.« Ulrike Schwerdtner, http://tierbefreiungsarchiv.de, 3 (2020)

Die aktuelle Debatte um die gesellschaftlichen Mensch-Tier-Verhältnisse wird in diesem Band facettenreich bereichert. Die Diskussion kreist um Fragen der Tierethik, die Verhandlung der Mensch-Tier-Grenze und beschäftigt sich nicht zuletzt mit konkreten Interaktionen. Die interdisziplinären Beiträge greifen diese Themen anhand der Schwerpunkte »Tier_Ökonomien« und »Tier_Bilder« auf. Sie nähern sich aus verschiedenen Perspektiven dem Verhältnis zwischen Tieren und Ökonomie sowie den vielfältigen Formen und Funktionen von gesellschaftlichen Tierbildern und geben damit einen Überblick über aktuelle Forschungsfragen der Human-Animal Studies. »Insgesamt bietet dieses Buch reichlich Informationen zur aktuellen Debatte um Tierschutz und Mensch-Tier-Beziehung.« Margit Spatzenegger, Imago Hominis, 21/4 (2014) »Tiere sind Teil der menschlichen Gesellschaft. Noch befinden sie sich in der passiven Opferrolle. Doch die Human-Animal Studies will sie zu AkteurInnen machen. ›Tiere Bilder Ökonomien‹ ist dazu ein wichtiger Beitrag.« Tobias Sennhauser, www.tier-im-fokus.ch, 02.09.2014 »Ein guter [...] Einblick in die aktuelle Forschung der ›Human Animal Studies‹.« Kochen ohne Knochen, 15/2 (2014) Besprochen in: www.fellbeisser.net, 12 (2013) Umweltbriefe, 1 (2014)

Animal minds and animal ethics - different origins, connecting similarities. Philosophers working on questions of animal ethics usually draw on research into animal cognition and subscribe to strong positions regarding animal minds. Whereas philosophers interested in the question of animal minds sometimes draw ethical conclusions from the positions they argue for. In spite of such overlaps, these two areas of research have grown up separately. One reason for this separation stems from the institutional distinction between theoretical and practical philosophy. The principal aim of this anthology is to build bridges between the fields and different philosophical approaches of animal ethics and of animal minds and cognition. »Der Band zeigt, wie sich das dilettantische Zurechtschneidern des Geistes der Tiere verhindern lässt. Die Auswahl der Arbeiten [...] bezeugt das konstruktive Potential der postmodernen Philosophie.« Philipp von Gall, TIERethik, 6/8 (2014) »Ein lesenswertes Buch.« Kochen ohne Knochen, 15/2 (2014) Reviewed in: Fellbeißer, 10 (2013) www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 21.01.2014, Dieter Bach fair-fish, 13.02.2014, Heinzpeter Studer
