Paperback. Condition: Good. 'When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?' - Michel de Montaigne. Why do we live with pets? Is there something more to our relationship with them than simply companionship? What is it we look for in our pets and what does this say about us as human beings? In this fascinating book, Erica Fudge explores the nature of this most complex of relationships and the difficulties of knowing what it is that one is living with when one chooses to share a home with an animal. Fudge argues that our capacity for compassion and ability to live alongside others is evident in our relationships with our pets, those paradoxical creatures who give us a sense of comfort and security while simultaneously troubling the categories human and animal. For what is a pet if it isn't a fully-fledged member of the human family? This book proposes that by crossing over these boundaries pets help construct who it is we think we are. Drawing on the works of modern writers, such as J. M. Coetzee, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and Jacques Derrida, Fudge shows how pets have been used to think with and to undermine our easy conceptions of human, animal and home. Indeed, Pets shows our obsession with domestic animals that reveals many of the paradoxes, contra - dictions and ambiguities of life. Living with pets provides thought-provoking perspectives on our notions of possession and mastery, mutuality and cohabitation, love and dominance. We might think of pets as simply happy, loved additions to human homes but as this captivating book reveals perhaps it is the pets that make the home and without pets perhaps we might not be the humans we think we are. For anyone who has ever wondered, like Montaigne, what their cat is thinking, it will be illuminating reading.…

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. Erica Fudge - Pets - Paidós - 2014 - LM Ficha técnica: Autora: Erica Fudge Título: Pets Editorial: Paidós Colección: Entornos 22 Año: 2014 Páginas: 153 Clasificación: Ensayo / Estudios animales / Cultura contemporánea Reseña: Erica Fudge propone una reflexión breve, aguda y nada sentimental sobre la relación entre los seres humanos y los animales domésticos. Pets parte de una pregunta aparentemente sencilla —por qué vivimos con mascotas— para abrir un campo mucho más complejo: qué buscamos en ellas, qué proyectamos sobre ellas y qué revela esa convivencia acerca de nuestra propia idea de humanidad. El libro evita el tono meramente anecdótico y trabaja la mascota como figura cultural, afectiva y ética. El perro o el gato de la casa aparecen aquí no solo como compañía, sino como presencia que desestabiliza la frontera entre naturaleza y cultura, dependencia y afecto, dominio y cuidado. Un ensayo atractivo para lectores de estudios culturales, filosofía animal, sociología de la vida cotidiana y vínculos humano-animal. Título poco común dentro del catálogo de Paidós Entornos, con buena salida por su tema transversal.…
