Through a series of case studies, this book explores the role of live animals on the stage, from the early modern era to the present time. The contributors deal with visual and textual representations of performing animals; typologies of animals in the theatre; the hybridization of the drama with the circus, the zoo, and the cinema; as well as the semiotic transfer of animal roles from the text to the stage. The focus lies on the changing historical fortunes of the four-footed actor and on exploring the ways that attitudes to the animal affect their dramatic representations – within aesthetic contexts but also in their dramatized scientific use. Exploring snapshots of acting animals from their earliest manifestation on the early modern stage, the chapters contextualize and theorize particular uses of the animal actor, and key into current debates on the cutting edge of animal performance studies. While seeking to consider how these theoretical perspectives were formed, the collection delves into the multiple ways through which the animal presence problematizes the practice of theatricality.This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in Theatre and Performance.

Animal Advocacy Documentaries in the Twenty-first Century is the first monograph dedicated exclusively to the study of this subgenre.The book explores how the plasticity of nonfiction film engages with nonhuman otherness and with the rhetorical discourses of advocates and activists, while simultaneously reaffirming its claims to truth. It examines how documentary mechanisms associated with form and content are deployed by filmmakers to represent nonhuman animals as subjects deserving of moral consideration, effectively seeking an ethical response from viewers. Rhetorical devices at the service of the documentary genre and animal ethics discourses come together in the formulation of narratives and aesthetics that reflect filmmakers’ awareness of the intertextual forces embodied by nonhuman animals in moving images.Contributing to the fields of (Critical) Animal, Film, and Media Studies by defining and historicizing these films, the book situates their identity in the context of Western mythographies, politics of sight, the systemic practices of the animal-industrial complex, and contemporary self-reflexivity. It will appeal to academics, students, advocates, activists and people with an interest in nonfiction film, offering them an understanding of the historical and aesthetic place of animal advocacy documentaries, as well as a critical assessment of their limits and problematic interstices.
