Animal Humanities
MALAS 600B or HUM 580
Dr. Raechel Dumas
Associate Professor, Classics & Humanities
What would an "inhumanities" look like? This course challenges the anthropocentric scope of "the humanities" through the study of texts and contexts in which nonhuman animals feature as central speakers, actors, and subjects of inquiry. We will explore how writers, artists, theorists, philosophers, ethicists, and various cultural institutions have sustained and/or disputed the human/animal binary.
In doing so, we will consider what it might mean to enlarge the scope of "the humanities" to acknowledge the subjectivity of nonhuman animals not only in an academic context, but also for the futures of our arts, ethics, politics, economics, social relationships, and environment.
