The market for comfortable animals
14.99 €
Why have dogs that fit into a tea cup, cafes where you can pet cats and capybaras become popular in the modern world? What fantastic creatures and dragon lords do city dwellers associate themselves with, and what price do pets pay for becoming as touching and convenient for people as possible? The author seeks answers to these questions by conceptualizing the roles imposed on animals in contemporary culture and predicting the consequences that this dynamic between animals and humans may have. The book is written at the intersection of anthropology, zoology, cultural studies, and ethics; the author actively engages the latest data ranging from academic studies to social media statistics. Katya Krylova is a curator, art historian, theorist of contemporary culture, Master of Arts (Goldsmiths University of London) and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand).
