Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Suspicious bats, culled mink, valuable monkeys, and vaccinated tigers: the recent global pandemic has demonstrated the close interconnectedness of animal and human lives in the modern world. The human attribution of epidemic agency to animals has a long historical tradition, as narratives about animal diseases in antiquity already attest. The contributions to this volume focus on animals as victims, hosts, or vectors of dangerous diseases - or, since the late eighteenth century, also as producers of vaccines and test bodies for new medicines. They also show how epistemic breaks such as the bacteriological turn around 1900 led to large-scale extermination campaigns against rats and other 'pests'. The changing role of non-human beings in epidemics thus reflects both long continuities and fundamental shifts in relations between humans and other animals.Verdächtige Fledermäuse, gekeulte Zuchtnerze, wertvolle Versuchsaffen und geimpfte Tiger im Zoo: Die jüngste globale Pandemie hat neben der Vulnerabilität von modernen Gesellschaften auch die enge Verflochtenheit von tierlichem und menschlichem Leben eindrücklich vor Augen geführt. Die menschliche Zuschreibung von Akteursrollen von Tieren in Epidemien hat eine lange historische Tradition, wie bereits Erzählungen über Tierseuchen in der Antike belegen. Die Beiträge des Bandes legen den Fokus auf Tiere als Opfer, Wirte oder Überträger von gefährlichen Krankheiten - oder seit dem späten 18. Jahrhundert auch als Produzenten von Impfungen und Testkörper für Heilstoffe. Sie zeigen zudem auf, wie epistemische Brüche wie die bakteriologische Wende um 1900 zu großflächigen Vernichtungsaktionen gegen Ratten und andere 'Schädlinge' führten. In der sich wandelnden Rolle von Tieren in Epidemien spiegeln sich damit sowohl lange Kontinuitäten als auch fundamentale Umbrüche in den Beziehungen zwischen Menschen und anderen Tieren.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 284 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | While historiography is dominated by attempts that try to standardize and de-individualize the behavior of animals, history proves to be littered with records of the exceptional lives of unusual animals. This book introduces animal biography as an approach to the re-framing of animals as both objects of knowledge as well as subjects of individual lives. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective and bringing together scholars from, among others, literary, historical and cultural studies, the texts collected in this volume seek to refine animal biography as a research method and framework to studying, capturing, representing and acknowledging animal others as individuals. From Heini Hediger¿s biting monitor, Hachik¿ and Murr to celluloid ape Caesar and the mourning of Topsy¿s gruesome death, the authors discuss how animal biographies are discovered and explored through connections with humans that can be traced in archives, ethological fieldwork and novels, and probe the means ofconstructing animal biographies from taxidermy to film, literature and social media. Thus, they invite deeper conversations with socio-political and cultural contexts that allow animal biographies to provide narratives that reach beyond individual life stories, while experimenting with particular forms of animal biographies that might trigger animal activism and concerns for animal well-being, spur historical interest and enrich the literary imagination.…
