In the midst of the climate crisis and the threat of the sixth extinction, we can no longer claim to be the masters of nature. Rather, we need to unlearn our speciesâ arrogance for the sake of all animals, human and non-human.

Part I investigates the unexplored margins of human history by re-reading historical events, literary texts, and scientific findings from an animalâs perspective, rather than a humanâs. Part II explores different forms of human-animal relationships, putting the emphasis on the institutions, spaces, and discourses that frame our interactions with animals. Part III engages with processes of "translation" that aim to render animalsâ experience and perception into human words and visual language. Less
