Description: Animals in Narrative Film and Television: Strange and Familiar Creatures [Hardcover] Beeler, Karin; Beeler, Stan; Aitaki, Georgia; Bay, Jessica; Burger Culver-Stockton College, Alissa; Gibson, Jessica; Hipple, David; Izumi, Katsuya; Osborn, Jonathan; Pinder, MK; Pugh, Catherine; Rolufs, Heather; Sousa, Monica and Sheppard, Sumor Ziva Product Overview This book explores fictional representations and narrative functions of animal characters in animated and live-action film and television, examining the ways in which these representations intersect with a variety of social issues. Contributors cover a range of animal characters, from heroes to villains, across a variety of screen genres and formats, including anime, comedy, romance, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Aesthetic features of these works, along with the increased latitude that fictionalized narratives and alternative worlds provide, allow existing social issues to be brought to the forefront in order to effect change in our societies. By incorporating animal figures into media, these screen narratives have gained the ability to critique actions carried out by human beings and explore dimensions of both the human/animal connection and the intersectionality of race, culture, class, gender, and ability, ultimately teaching viewers how to become more human in our interactions with the world around us. Scholars of film studies, media studies, and animal studies will find this book of particular interest.
