Screening the Nonhuman: Representations of Animal Others in the Media - Paperback

by Amber E. George (Editor), J. L. Schatz (Editor), Joseph Anderton (Contribution by)

This collection draws connections between the ways in which animals represented on screen translate into reality. In doing so, it demonstrates that media consumption is not a neutral act but, rather, a political one. The images humans consume have real-world consequences for how animals are treated as actors, as pets, and in nature.
