TY - JOUR TI - Herding Cats. The Intellectual Landscape of Animal Studies AU - Dąbrowska, Magdalena TI - Herding Cats. The Intellectual Landscape of Animal Studies AB - 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. Despite major differences they are based on the assumption that animals should be treated as subjects. 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.  VL - 2018 IS - Issue 1 (35) 2018: Otwarcia: zwierzęta i ich zwierzęcości PY - 2018 SN - 1897-1962 C1 - 2084-395X SP - 15 EP - 31 DO - 10.4467/2084395XWI.18.001.8815 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/wieloglos/article/proba-pasienia-kotow-czyli-intelektualny-krajobraz-animal-studies KW - animal studies KW - human–animal studies KW - critical animal studies KW - posthumanism
