Animal Places: Lively Cartographies of Human-Animal Relations

This book takes as its starting point the relationship between place and human/animal interaction. It brings together the work of leading scholars in human/animal studies, from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary backgrounds. With a distinct focus on place, physical space and biocultural geography, the authors of this volume consider the ways in which space, human and nonhuman animals co-constitute each other, how they make spaces together, produce meaning around them, struggle over access, how these places are storied and how stories of spaces matter. As such, it will appeal to geographers, sociologists and anthropologists with interests in human-animal interaction, space and place, and anthrozoology.
