Anotace knihy

This book provides an overview on the past and current traces that cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals used by humans have left in Anglophone literary fiction. Additionally, Livestock and Literature explores counter-narratives in selected science- and speculative fiction (SF) works from the twenty-first century. This book highlights 'what if' scenarios that feature "livestock" practicing resistance, imagines them as biotechnologically modified, postanimal beings, or highlights their companionship to humans. Via these three points of access, the study delineates the formal and thematic strategies SF authors apply to challenge anthropocentric and speciesist thought patterns. The aim is to shed light on how these alternative storyworlds expand readers' understanding of the lives of farmed animals; seeking insight into how literature shapes human-animal relationships beyond the page.
