The Situationality of HumanAnimal Relations Perspectives from Anthropology and Philosophy

The anthology asks for the anthropological and philosophical implications of human-animal relations. It presents a multidisciplinary theoretical approach and clarifies the concept of situationality. Riding, hunting, fishing, bullfighting: Human-animal relations are diverse. This anthology presents various case studies of situations in which humans and animals come into contact and asks for the anthropological and philosophical implications of such encounters. The contributions by renowned scholars such as Albert Piette and Kazuyoshi Sugawara present multidisciplinary methodological reflections on concepts such as embodiment, emplacement, or the »conditio animalia« (in addition to the »conditio humana«) as well as a consideration of the term »situationality« within the field of anthropology.
