| Publisher Description: Poetics and Ethics of Anthropomorphism: Children, Animals and Poetry will critically contextualize anthropomorphism in traditional and contemporary poetic and theoretical discourse. Key issues and aspects of the study will include the representation of animals through anthropomorphism, anthropocentrism, affective and emotional responses to other-than-human species, animal absence, and what we will call a child-animal nature-and-nurture dynamism. These issues are also crucial to zoomorphism - the attribution of animal traits to deities and non-animal entities and events, zoomorphism routinely being the concomitant (or flipside) of anthropomorphism. |
