"The Culture of Animals and Antiquity provides students and researchers with well-chosen and clearly-presented ancient sources in translation, some of which may be well-known, and others undoubtedly unfamiliar, but all central to a key area of study in ancient history -the part played by animals in the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, practical and cultural. It brings new ideas to bear on the wealth of evidence, literary, historical and archaeological, which we possess for the experiences and roles of animals in the ancient world." --

In the popular literature, it is often assumed that a single conceptual framework can be applied to both dog–dog and dog–human interactions, including play. We have, through three studies, tested the hypothesis that dog–dog and dog–human play are motivationally distinct. In an observational study of dogs being walked by their owners (N=402), dogs which were walked together, and had opportunities to play with one another, played with their owners with the same frequency as dogs being walked alone. This finding was supported by a questionnaire survey of 2585 dog owners in which dogs in multi-dog households played slightly more often with their owners than dogs in single-dog households. The performance of dog–dog play does not, therefore, seem to suppress the dogs' motivation to play with their owners as would be predicted if they were motivationally interchangeable. In an experimental comparison of dog–dog and dog–human toy-centred play, the dogs were more likely to give up on a competition, to show and present the toy to their play partner, if that partner was human. When two toys were available, dogs playing with other dogs spent less time showing interest in both toys and possessed one of the toys for longer, than dogs playing with people. Overall, the dogs were more interactive and less likely to possess the object when playing with a person. We conclude that dog–dog and dog–human play are structurally different, supporting the idea that they are motivationally distinct. We therefore suggest there is no reason to assume that the consequences of dog–dog play can be extrapolated to play with humans.

Hund, Katze, Kanarienvogel - Wie wurden die Deutschen zu leidenschaftlichen Haustierhaltern? Amir Zelinger schildert das Deutsche Kaiserreich (1871-1914) als eine Epoche, in der Tiere massenhaft in die Häuser der Menschen integriert wurden. Er erzählt die Geschichte der wilhelminischen Gesellschaft, die ihre Türen für ein extrem buntes Konglomerat von Tierarten öffnete und als Freunde zu gewinnen suchte. Anhand exemplarischer Halter-Tier-Beziehungen zeigt die Studie, dass der Wunsch der Zeitgenossen, sich mit Tieren anzufreunden, in Verbindung mit den Folgen der Industrialisierung, der Wissenschaftspopularisierung und der Eugenik stand. »[Die Studie] vermag schlüssig und sehr reflektiert für ein bislang vernachlässigtes Thema zu sensibilisieren, einen Bereich menschlichen Handelns für mehr als nur politische, soziale, ökonomische oder kulturelle Betrachtung zu erschließen und auf den Gewinn einer differenzierten Betrachtung auch dieses Feldes aufmerksam zu machen.« Angela Schwarz, Werkstatt Geschichte, 81 (2020) »Das Buch fächert verschiedene Kontaktzonen von Menschen und Tieren im Kaiserreich auf und lässt [...] das Denken und Handeln der menschlichen Zeitgenossen klarer hervortreten. Es gibt Einblick in deren Motive und Handlungsweisen und kann als gelungenes Beispiel dafür angesehen werden, dass die Betrachtung von Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen auch etwas über menschliche Mentalitäten aussagen kann.« Rainer Pöppinghege, H-Soz-u-Kult, 13.03.2019 »Es sind diese Makroaufnahmen, historischen Kontextualisierungen und Offenlegungen der Beziehungsvielfalt, die Freimütigkeit der Zeitgenossen des Kaiserreichs gegenüber der Neubestimmung der Mensch-Tier-Beziehungen, die Zelingers Buch interessant machen.« Anna-Katharina Wöbse, www.sehepunkte.de, 18/11 (2018) »Eine spannende Lektüre und Pflicht für alle, die sich mit der Historie der Haustierhaltung befassen.« Jens Schäfer, Kochen ohne Knochen, 33/4 (2018) O-Ton: »Eine Geschichte von alltäglichen Interaktionen« - Amir Zelinger im Interview bei L.I.S.A Wissenschaftsportal Gerda Henkel Stiftung am 19.06.2018.
