Companion Species
Saints, Animals and Ordinary Humans in the Middle Ages
AvMathilde van Dijk
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
2 103 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores the connection between saints and animals, and how the power over animals has been a characteristic of saints from their beginnings in the Early Church.The connection between saints and humans is examined, with the saint as a human rising beyond humanity, touching the divine, and the non-human animal as a creature, which is connected to and yet removed from humanity and which may have a connection to the sacred itself. This volume transcends traditional religious boundaries by including Christian saints as well as similar figures in Islam and Norse religions. It operates on the cusp of two exciting and innovative fields: hagiographic and animal studies. It shows the complexities of human-animal interaction and the sacred: authorities clashing with experiential knowledge, metaphorical animals as opposed to real, animals ranging from helpers or opponents of saints, disguises of demons, or identity markers of a human community.Companion Species will be of value to scholars and students interested in medieval history, Europe, and religion, as well as social and cultural history.

Are we alone in the universe? Or are there more planets like ours, which support life, including intelligent life? What will be the impact of the encounter with extraterrestrial life on us and vice versa? From the 16th century, scientists and authors have imagined extraterrestrial life and our encounters with it. In science fiction, a genre which became increasingly popular from the 19th century, such ‘first contact’ is a recurrent theme. It has become even more topical under the influence of postmodern discourse concerning species, gender, sexuality, non-normative corporality and ethnicity. The phrases ‘first contact’ as well as ‘alien’ have a long history as both were also used in other contexts: to describe the first encounters of the European invaders with the indigenous peoples of the Americas and Asia. In addition, the word ‘alien’ was used to denote unwanted immigrants. This volume explores what the humanities have to offer for this debate, especially on the notions of first contact, and focuses on matters such as: theological, philosophical and ethical implications of encountering extra-terrestrial life; the boundaries of being human, dealing with differences between species, as well as genders; and more.
