The course is focussed on relations between humans and nonhumans, particularly animals and plants. A range of disciplinary approaches are explored, including history, cultural geography, natural science and science and technology studies, as well as anthropology. The course will involve advanced themes in environmental anthropology and will examine research that has emerged during the recent ‘more-than-human’ trend in the social sciences and humanities. Topics covered will include the role of the more-than-human in the development of social theory, hunting and its rituals, science and the politics and ethics of the nonhuman, nonhumans in art and the media, how humans perceive other beings and the wider implications of a more-than-human anthropology.
