Anthropomorphism is a literary device that has long been devalued by critics, scholars, and writers and more recently has been perceived as an anthropocentric tool by some animal studies scholars. Yet, anthropomorphic literary engagements like Black Beauty have a history of raising consciousness for issues of animal welfare and justice. This chapter examines Barbara Gowdy’s The White Bone and Bong Joon-Ho’s Okja and the potential they offer for cultivating critical engagement with animal oppression, immiseration, and slaughter all of which are intensified by colonialism and capitalist assemblages.

摘要

Anthropomorphism is a literary device that has long been devalued by critics, scholars, and writers and more recently has been perceived as an anthropocentric tool by some animal studies scholars. Yet, anthropomorphic literary engagements like Black Beauty have a history of raising consciousness for issues of animal welfare and justice. This chapter examines Barbara Gowdy’s The White Bone and Bong Joon-Ho’s Okja and the potential they offer for cultivating critical engagement with animal oppression, immiseration, and slaughter all of which are intensified by colonialism and capitalist assemblages.
