Book Description
A fascinating exploration of the way in which animals are ‘framed’ – contextualized, decontextualized – in contemporary visual culture. Written in a highly engaging style, this book challenges the field, dealing with some highly controversial aspects of animal exploitation and boldly examines material that is seldom discussed within animal studies.
