Critical Animal Studies - Animals in Society, Culture and the Media

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: SASH68

<p>What is speciesism and how does it intersect with racism and sexism? What ideas and developments have made large-scale animal production and its globalisation possible? What place do animals have in struggles for change and social justice? </p><p>Animals are part of our society and culture in many ways. At the same time, they are often treated as objects, frequently marginalised or reduced to commodities, production units, status symbols and tools. In this course, you will critically examine how animals are valued and portrayed in today's Western society. You will explore how economics, science, politics, and the media influence the roles we assign to animals, and the implications for both animals and humans. You will be exposed to new research in critical animal studies, drawing from fields like sociology, media and communication studies, philosophy, cultural studies, geography, gender studies, and critical race studies. </p>
