Overview

Throughout history and in all places, animals have been an essential part of human culture. They have been hunted and domesticated, studied and mythologized, feared and loved. Our complicated relationships with other animals have repeatedly found expression in art, literature, religion and science. In 1995, the New School for Social Research sponsored a conference to explore human/animal interactions. Published as a special issue of the journal ""Social Research"" (under the title ""In the Company of Animals""), this collection is here presented in one volume.
