Other·otherness·other Self: Animal Studies in Contemporary New English Novels
by Duan Yan
About This Novel
This book starts from the perspective of animal studies and is compatible with theories such as Marxism, feminism, postcolonial studies, ecocriticism, psychoanalysis, new historicism, posthumanism and cognitive ethology. It focuses on animal books in contemporary new English novels such as Coetzee's "Animal Lives", Sinha's "Animal People", Atwood's "Oryx and Crake", Martel's "Life of Pi", Wynton's "The Shallows" and so on. Write, explore the relationship between literary representations and symbolic meanings of animals and real animals, explain how different perceptions of animals affect their destiny in human society and humans themselves, analyze how literature and art can speak for animals without falling into the trap of anthropocentric imagination, trace the role that animals play in shaping human personality and the process of civilization, and put this tracing in the current real context to observe its significance.
