Mapping animal studies I present three main approaches: studies of human-animal relationships, critical animal studies and research inspired by posthumanism. They analyze animals from various perspectives, using different theories and research methodologies.

Moreover, academic research is supposed to influence the social practices and attitudes towards animals. The relationships between animal studies and activism and between academic research and activism are also analyzed.
