Glenn Willmott

4.9/5 (22552 ratings)

Description:From T. S. Eliot s Sweeney to C. S. Lewis s Aslan, modern writing has been filled with strange new hybrid human-animal creatures. Feeding on consumer society, these modern primitive figures often challenge mainstream ideals by discovering wealth in habitats and resources rather than in economic exchange. What compels our post-human identification with these characters?Modern Animalism explores representations of the human-animal problem creature in a broad assortment of literature and comics from the late nineteenth century to the present including authors such as Woolf, Joyce, Lawrence, Moore, Murakami, Pullman, Coetzee, and Atwood, and comics creators such as McCay, Herriman, Miyazaki, and Morrison. Drawing on a wide range of scholarship, from environmental economics to psychology, Glenn Willmott examines modern and post-modern allegories of the environment, the animal, and economics, highlighting the enduring and seductive appeal of the modern primitive in an age when living with less remains a powerful cultural wish."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
