- Summary:
- Animals seem to be everywhere in contemporary literature, visual art, and performance. But though writers, artists, and performers are now engaging more and more with ideas about animals, and even with actual living animals, their aesthetic practice continues to be interpreted within a primarily human frame of reference - with art itself being understood as an exclusively human endeavour. The critical wager in this work is that the aesthetic impulse itself is profoundly trans-species.
