This has been the impetus for a plethora of representational practices that, broadly conceived, work to fill in the gap between humans and animals. Ironically, many of these may ultimately intensify the very nostalgia, distance, and ignorance they were devised to remedy. \u003ci\u003eAnimals on Display\u003c\/i\u003e presents nine lively and engaging essays on the historical representation and display of nonhuman animals. Looking at a wide range of examples, many of them now little known, the essays situate them in their historical and sociocultural contexts, while speaking to the ongoing importance of making animals visible for the arrangement and sustenance of human-animal relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAside from the editors, the contributors are Brita Brenna, Guro Flinterud, Henry A. McGhie, Brian W. Ogilvie, Nigel Rothfels, and Lise Camilla Ruud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e LIV Emma Thorsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271060719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271060712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"LIV Emma Thorsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074722885887,"sku":"9780271060712","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_588241a3-8791-426b-b7f0-7141ea225e5f.jpg?v=1685455399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animals-on-display-liv-emma-thorsen-9780271060712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
