More about the book

The book explores the historical and theoretical dimensions of animal presence in performance, tracing the concept of animality from the eighteenth century to the present. It examines how animal-human encounters in performance reveal issues of power, subjectivity, and otherness while also prompting ethical considerations regarding human and non-human animals. By analyzing cultural traditions and shifts in political and ethical relations, the work highlights the significance of animals in shaping performance practices and our understanding of animality.
