Book Description
"Aggressive businessman Alexander Donaldson III needed a vacation - peace and quiet, sleeping until noon. Instead, he was rudely awakened by a huge sheep butting its head against the bedroom window. The woolly trespasser could only belong to one person - his new neighbor, Miss Bo Peep herself! Child psychologist Hannah Martinof had come to the country to get away from stubborn, unreasonable men like Alex. Honestly, all that fuss over a sheep - it was enough to ruffle her normally calm, compassionate nature. But even more disturbing to Hannah was the way Alex wouldn't leave after she'd apologized for her pet. He seemed rooted to the spot. Starstruck...or lovestruck perhaps?"--

Doing Animal Studies with Androids, Aliens, and Ghosts
Author: David P. Rando
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 135035614X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Exploring what can be learnt when literary critics in the field of animal studies temporarily direct attention away from representations of nonhuman animals in literature and towards liminal figures like androids, aliens and ghosts, this book examines the boundaries of humanness. Simultaneously, it encourages the reader both to see nonhuman animals afresh and to reimagine the terms of our relationships with them. Examining imaginative texts by writers such as Octavia Butler, Philip K. Dick, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jeanette Winterson and J. M. Coetzee, this book looks at depictions of androids that redefine traditional humanist qualities such as hope and uniqueness. It examines alien visions that unmask the racist and heteronormative roots of speciesism. And it unpacks examples of ghosts and spirits who offer posthumous visions of having-been-human that decenter anthropocentrism. In doing so, it leaves open the potential for better relationships and futures with nonhuman animals.
