Summary

Using John Berger’s famous essay ‘Why look at animals?’ as a starting point, this chapter sets out the theoretical basis for the book, replacing an art historical framework in which animal art reflects a love of nature with a relational approach focusing on the interactions between humans, animals and things. An ontological approach is used to identify modern ways of looking at animals/objects and opening up new ways of understanding them.
