Doelstelling: Deze studie onderzoekt de manier waarop J.M. Coetzee en J.S. Foer het verschijnsel speciesisme blootleggen. Het behandelt de wijze waarop beide auteurs een protest formuleren tegen deze vorm van discriminatie, tegen de normen en gewoonten die speciesisme laten gedijen, en de praktijken die eruit ontstaan. Middelen of methode: Eerst worden gerelateerde thema's uit ondersteunende literatuur bestudeerd (de ethische basis voor dierenrechten, de raakvlakken met andere vormen van discriminatie). Die nieuwe inzichten zullen vervolgens bijdragen tot een analyse van de wijze waarop Coetzee in The Lives of Animals en in Disgrace, en Foer in Eating Animals gedragingen zoals geveinsde onwetendheid blootleggen en bestrijden. Resultaten: n.v.t.

Seit den 1960er-Jahren haben Künstler*innen tradierte Vorstellungen einer Opposition von Kunst und Natur in Frage gestellt. Sie bezogen Tiere und Pflanzen als Ko-Akteure ein und etablierten somit eine skulpturale Ästhetik des Lebendigen, die eine Neudefinition der Gattung Skulptur erforderte. Die Studie untersucht erstmals sogenannte Non-Human Living Sculptures am Beispiel von Hans Haacke und Pierre Huyghe. Ausgehend von einer Re-Lektüre der Skulpturhistoriographie der Moderne bewertet die Autorin in einzelnen Werkanalysen bestehende Theorien neu und erweitert diese. Gezeigt wird, wie die von US-amerikanischer Systemtheorie, -biologie und Kybernetik bestimmten realzeitlichen Systeme Haackes und seine Abkehr von einer Objektästhetik zeitgenössische Positionen prägen, wie die situationsästhetischen Arbeiten von Huyghe. Erste umfassende wissenschaftliche Studie sogenannter Non-Human Living Sculptures Re-Lektüre der Skulpturhistoriographie des 20. Jahrhunderts Skulpturale Ästhetik des Lebendigen Since the 1960s, artists have questioned the traditional idea of opposition between art and nature. They have incorporated animals and plants as co-actors in their work, and so established a sculptural aesthetic of the living, which called for a redefinition of the sculptural genre. This study is the first to examine so-called Non-Human Living Sculptures using the examples of Hans Haacke and Pierre Huyghe. Following a re-reading of the historiography of modernist sculpture, the author re-evaluates and expands on existing theories in individual work analyses. She shows how Haacke's real-time systems, determined by US systems theory, biology and cybernetics, as well as his rejection of the object aesthetic have shaped contemporary positions such as Huyghe's situational-aesthetic works.

Reimagining Urban Nature questions some of the underlying imaginaries which have for so long allowed us humans to develop technologically at great cost to the more-than-human world and ourselves. In urban places, cultural and more-than-human entities are in frequent contact; however, the non-human is often seen as expendable in these human-centric places. While much important work has been done on improving care for the more rural and wild areas of the globe, to really address environmental damage we must work towards reimagining the city. These are places where the majority of people live and work, and where the majority of decisions are made about the care and protection of many environments within and beyond the city. This book contributes to the still under-developed field of urban ecocriticism by adding a posthumanist perspective, as well as expanding current discussions within urban studies and environmental activism that seek to shift political and cultural imaginaries of urban nature. Importantly, this investigation is grounded in the Australian (and more broadly, the Australasian) context to allow for the analysis of a more diverse set of voices, texts and ecologies in an area still dominated by the northern hemisphere and the Global North.

This book explores the role of animals -- horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs -- in shaping Georgian London. Moving away from the philosophical, fictional and humanitarian sources used by previous animal studies, it focuses on evidence of tangible, dung-bespattered interactions between real people and animals, drawn from legal, parish, commercial, newspaper and private records.This approach opens up new perspectives on unfamiliar or misunderstood metropolitan spaces, activities, social types, relationships and cultural developments. Ultimately, the book challenges traditional assumptions about the industrial, agricultural and consumer revolutions, as well as key aspects of the city's culture, social relations and physical development. It will be stimulating reading for students and professional scholars of urban, social, economic, agricultural, industrial, architectural and environmental history.
