EH 123: Literature and Animal Studies


Units: 4

Engages with the emerging fields of animal studies and posthumanist theory. Explores questions raised by literary animals from multiple perspectives, including from the point of view of (fictional) animals themselves. The texts will encourage us to reexamine our anthropocentric assumptions and to push back against narratives of human exceptionalism.
