Edmund Spenser and Animal Life

Edmund Spenser and Animal Life by Rachel Stenner, Abigail Shinn
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 295 Pages | ISBN : 3031426401 | 17.5 MB

This book is the first extended critical study of the early modern poet Edmund Spenser from the perspective of animal studies. With an introduction situating Spenser in current discussions of animal life and literary form, and early modern animal studies, the book proceeds in four sections: “Animals and Cultural Practices”; “Animals, Slavery, and Race”; “Animals in Complaints”; “Readers and Poetics in The Faerie Queene”. Contributors discuss a broad range of Spenser’s work, putting it into dialogue with a number of early modern discourses, including politics, poetics, and natural history.

Animal Fiction in Late Twentieth-Century Canada

Animal Fiction in Late Twentieth-Century Canada by Alice Higgs
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 165 Pages | ISBN : 3031426118 | 2.8 MB

Animal Fiction in Late Twentieth-Century Canada fulfils a vital contribution to the conversation surrounding animal representation as a point of continuity in national narratives and supports the idea that focusing on narratives of responsibility and care influences better relations with both non-human animals and across settler-Indigenous boundaries. Alice Higgs engages with on-going debates regarding reconciliation by demonstrating that it is imperative to critique settler colonial environmental frameworks and place autonomy back into Indigenous communities by bringing Indigenous practices of custodianship and relationality to bear more generally. This book also develops a number of conversations in animal studies in relation to the politics of representation. Higgs studies a range of canonical Canadian authors, demonstrating a progress across the period in which it is possible to identify the emergence of a literary pro-animal turn.

Species of Contagion: Animal-to-Human Transplantation in the Age of Emerging Infectious Disease

Species of Contagion: Animal-to-Human Transplantation in the Age of Emerging Infectious Disease by Ray Carr
English | EPUB | 2022 | 228 Pages | ISBN : 9811682887 | 0.4 MB

‘After the recent pandemic, we desperately need comparative treatments of the politics, policies and programmes that affect human, animal and environmental health. Species of Contagion is a compelling history of the present, chronicling the recent regulation of biomedical research and its translation into medical practice. With its focus on xenotransplantation and zoonotic disease risks, the book contains valuable lessons for when the promise of monsters meets newly charged national and global health security frameworks.’
—Steve Hinchliffe, Professor of Human Geography, University of Exeter

Strange Blood: The Rise and Fall of Lamb Blood Transfusion in 19th Century Medicine and Beyond

Strange Blood: The Rise and Fall of Lamb Blood Transfusion in 19th Century Medicine and Beyond by Boel Berner
English | PDF | 2020 | 216 Pages | ISBN : 3837651630 | 5 MB

In the mid-1870s, the experimental therapy of lamb blood transfusion spread like an epidemic across Europe and the USA. Doctors tried to use it as a cure for tuberculosis, pellagra, and anemia; proposed it as a means to reanimate seemingly dead soldiers on the battlefield. It was a contested therapy because it meant crossing boundaries and challenging taboos.
