Hybrids, chimeras, monsters, and liminal creatures of all sorts inhabit these pages, as indeed they do the pages of the cultural archive from Antiquity and the Middle Ages to the present day: everything from the harpies, ape-men, and cynocephali that inhabit the edges of medieval maps and taxonomies to the Krampuses and Furries that roam through Alpine villages and convention centers today. Yet these chimeras are not aberrations; rather, they reveal an essential truth about culture and artistic expression. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What emerges in \u003ci\u003eBecoming Animal\u003c\/i\u003e is a kaleidoscopic image of culture as the constant probing of the limits of the sayable, as an unending process of attempting to capture in words and symbols that which cannot be pinned down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Teresa Pr?auer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1803093323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803093321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Teresa Pr?auer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46136162844927,"sku":"9781803093321","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67d54558-56d4-4d38-94f3-2175bb32069f.jpg?v=1726415868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-animal-teresa-prauer-9781803093321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
