In times of accelerated global warming, an acute pandemic, and breakthroughs in bioengineering practices, discussions on how to rethink the relationships to these animals have become as heated as perhaps never before. .Livestock and Literature. examines what literature has to contribute to these debates. In particular, it draws on counter-narratives to so-called livestock animals’ commodification in selected science- and speculative fiction (SF) works from the twenty-first century. These texts imagine ‘what if’ scenarios where “livestock” practice resistance, transform into biotechnologically modified, postanimal beings, or live in close companionship to humans. Via these three points of access, the study delineates the formal and thematic strategies SF authors apply to challenge anthropocentric and speciesist thought patterns. The aim is to shed light on how these alternative storyworlds expand readers’ understanding of the lives of farmed animals; seeking insight into how literature shapes human-animal relationships beyond the page. | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Literature and Animal Studies; human-animal studies; animal studies; farm animal narratives; extinction | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58116-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-58118-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-58116-8Series ISSN 2634-6338 Series E-ISSN 2634-6346 | | issn_series | 2634-6338 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
