Critical Animal Studies (CAS) Applied to the Mule: Nostalgic Loss and Futile Recovery in Two Contemporary Southern U.S. Stories

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Fiction about animals has often been under renewed examination over the past two decades using new theories which break from traditional hierarchical notions of the superiority of humans as well as provide new insights regarding the relationship between humans and animals. No longer are animals to be understood merely as literary symbols in the conventional tradition. An effort over the last two decades has come about to represent the thoughts, attitudes and perspectives of animals, reflecting demands for a more humane treatment of animals. Philosophers of ethics reconsider the moral justification of using animals like machines, beasts of burden or even as food; this new area of study is known as Critical Animal Studies (CAS) and has wide applications. The need to reconsider human – nonhuman animal relations (specifically the mule and horse) is at the center of this article which examines two short stories focussing on mules in recent Southern U.S. publications. In both stories, retired Southern men face family conflicts and reflect on their lives, responding with the nuanced understanding of the benefit of the presence of mules near the end of their lives.
