It is often criticised for over-expressing similarities between humans and other animals. This book focuses on everyday encounters with visual representations of anthropomorphised animals and considers how attributing other animals with humanlike qualities speaks to a complex set of power relations. Through a series of case studies, it explores how anthropomorphism is produced and circulated and proposes that it can serve to create both misunderstandings and empathetic connections between humans and other animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to academics and students interested in visual media, animal studies, sociology and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54244936647000,"sku":"9780367195731","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367195731_da21d133-85a4-4a74-b1c4-f3527607163c.jpg?v=1769049025","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/animals-anthropomorphism-and-mediated-encounters-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
