In What Are the Animals to Us? scholars from a wide variety of academic disciplines explore the diverse meanings of animals in science, religion, folklore, literature, and art. The contributors focus especially on analyzing cultural products about animals. The chapters in the first section of the book, From Totems to Tales, interpret folklore of cats, foxes, snakes, and frogs in various cultures, while the chapters in thesection on Real Toads in Imaginary Gardens concern themselves with literary and historical representations of reindeer, wild birds, tigers, and other animals. The chapters in Holy Dogs and Scared Bunnies consider the roles of animals in art and religion. In the section on Ethics, Ethology, and Konrad Lorenz, the contribut...

That era of raised social-consciousness opened academic disciplines to many new perspectives. The unique contribution Animal Studies made was to suggest that other-than-human perspectives not only existed but could expand and enhance human consciousness beyond what since the Middle Ages had been believed to be the impermeable boundary between human and animal. Increased knowledge and awareness of nonhuman possibility came and continues to come from virtually every existing academic discipline. What Literary Animal Studies contributes to the mix is the news that the arts, their roots in humans' earliest response to the world and those they shared it with, still retain the power to rekindle that deep time when the boundary between human and animal was permeable, when humans knew they were one among many other animals, and anthropocentrism had not yet emerged to deny that kinship.
