Beskrivning
This edited volume, written by historians of art and visual culture who are working in the field of animal studies, seeks to understand how our ways of positioning (and ex-positioning) animals have separated us from the other-than-human animals that are an integral part of our interconnected world.Bringing together the visual and material culture of display with recent theoretical study on human–animal relations, the book draws attention to ways in which we might rethink this history and map pathways for the future. Defining the idea of exhibition and display broadly, chapters consider a diverse range of media, including paintings, anatomical sculpture, books, prints, and clothing; exhibition venues that take place in both the public and private realms; and key ideas such as looking at/looking back, seeing/being seen, and interspecies recognition. The authors cover topics that span the sixteenth through the early twentieth centuries and focus geographically on Europe and America, with significant content related to Canada, Indigenous America, and Latin America.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies, museum studies, animal studies, and environmental humanities.

“This geographically diverse volume makes a ground-breaking contribution to the rise of animal studies in the early modern and modern histories of art and visual culture. Without a doubt, it will also add to a growing body of work enriching histories of visual and material culture within the environmental humanities.”Emily Gephart, School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and Maura Coughlin, Northeastern University“This innovative and important collection takes a collaborative approach to the study of visual culture and animal life in the Americas and Europe. In a challenge to conventional approaches, the authors place human and other-than-human perspectives and experiences on an equal footing, moving back and forth between uses and depictions of animals on the part of human societies and the lives of the many different creatures they encountered.”Sarah R. Cohen, University at Albany, SUNY
