Civilization and Its Elephants

Humanimalia is a biannual journal devoted to the study of humananimal relations.It is interdisciplinary, open-access, and peer-reviewed, publishing original articles from a wide range of cultural, historical, philosophical, political, and aesthetic perspectives.Humanimalia has three aims: (1) to explore and advance the vast range of scholarship on human-animal relations; (2) to encourage exchange among scholars working from a variety of disciplinary perspectives; and (3) to promote dialogue between the academic community and those working closely with animals in non-academic fields.We invite innovative works that situate these topics within contemporary culture via a variety of critical approaches.Ideally, we seek papers that combine approaches, or at the very least draw upon research in other disciplines to contextualize their arguments.We are particularly interested in papers that acknowledge and seek to advance a more-than-human conception of aesthetics, culture, society, and politics.
