Punk and the Animal: Ethos, Ethics, and Aesthetics, gives contemporary insight into critical interspecies debates from an analytical perspective through the lens of punk.
It explores the synergies, crossovers, and alignments of punk thinking, together with punk ideologies and influences in contemporary animal studies. The volume includes contributions from leaders in the punk movement who engaged in exemplary practices that helped forge ongoing connections between punk and animal studies. In addition, it includes chapters by artists, scholars of visual and popular culture, animal studies specialists, and others in artistic and art-affiliated disciplines who have found their way into animal studies from one of the many manifestations of punk and who see punk’s ethos, ethics, and aesthetics as formative to their own work.
This volume complements current interest in the subjects of punk studies and animal studies while helping cement the important insights to be gained through examining the intersection of these fields.
