Multispezies Assemblagen, interspezifische Gemenge und relationale Praktiken. Ein Literaturbericht zur interdisziplinären Tierforschung nach dem animal turn

The field of human-animal studies has significantly diversified since the proclamation of the animal turn. Nevertheless, the focus of attention remains primarily on the relationships between humans and animals, which—depending on disciplinary orientation—are sometimes viewed as relational, interspecific, or through the lens of multispecies studies. Especially in the context of historical animal studies, efforts are made to reinterpret sources in light of this relational character, without necessarily delving into the agency of animals. Given an increasingly perceived crisis in the human-nature relationship, which also manifests itself in sustainability debates, the field of animal studies is also becoming more politically oriented and active.
