They can be man's best friend, laboratory specimen, film star or Sunday roast. We want them to like us, even to be like us, yet we do not want to be like them. Human-animal relationships are riddled with contradictions. In this thought-provoking overview, Erica Fudge examines the conflicting attitudes to animals which we have come to consider normal. Drawing from literature, film and philosophy, the Bible and Babe, Descartes and Derrida, The Wind in the Willows and the NASA space missions, she challenges our everyday assumptions about their position. What does it mean to wear fake fur? How can we assess animal intelligence if we use human criteria? And, if animals could speak would we really want to hear what they had to say? With the advance of animal cloning, animals have a more complex role in our culture than ever before. Whether you love them, live with them, eat them, or wear them, Animal will make you look at your fellow creatures in a radically new way. --
