Synopsis: |
From interior design, to fashion, and contemporary art, taxidermy has undergone a highly controversial resurgence in recent years. This book argues that the return of taxidermy represents much more than a simple revival. It constitutes a highly intriguing and layered cultural phenomenon highlighting the intrinsic complexities in our relationship to animals and nature as we face unprecedented capitalist and environmentalist crises. This book challenges central arguments on anthropocentrism and representation through a multidisciplinary approach. It contextualises taxidermy in art beyond the approaches of postcolonial theory, and adopts a Foucauldian approach to power and knowledge in an art. |
