The animal: discourses in art and media history
University lecture series as part of the seminar "The Animal: Discourses in Art and Media History", Dr Kerstin Brandes (Professor), Institute of Art and Visual Culture, summer semester 2018
Over the last 25 years, Human-Animal Studies (HAS) - or Animal Studies (AS) - has developed into an interdisciplinary field of research that aims to shift the usual anthropocentric perspective and look at the relationships between humans and animals in a new way. The lectures explore the question of how animals have been used and thematised in visual culture, in art and media history, in art and media studies discourses and to what extent this represents a challenge to Human-Animal Studies.
