What would we learn if animals could tell their own stories? ric Baratay, a pioneering researcher in animal histories in France, applies his knowledge of historical methodologies to give voice to some of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries most interesting animals. He offers brief yet innovative accounts of these animals lives in a way that challenges the readers thinking about animals.
Baratay illustrates the need to develop a nonanthropocentric means of viewing the lives of animals and including animals themselves in the narrative of their lives. Animal Biographies launches an all-new investigation into the lives of animals and is a major contribution to the field of animal studies.
This English translation of ric Baratays Biographies animales: Des Vies retrouves, originally published in France in 2017 (ditions du Seuil), uses firsthand accounts starting from the nineteenth century about specific animals who lived in Europe and the United States to reconstruct, as best as possible, their stories as they would have experienced them. History is, after all, not just the domain of humans. Animals have their own.
Baratay breaks the model of human exceptionalism to give us the biographies of some of history and literatures most famous animals. The reader will catch a glimpse of storied lives as told by Modestine, the donkey who carried Robert Louis Stevenson through the Alps; Warrior, the World War I horse made famous in Steven Spielbergs War Horse; Islero, the bull who gored Spains greatest bullfighter; and others.
