{"product_id":"9781442695597","title":"Modern Animalism: Habitats of Scarcity and Wealth in Comics and Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom T. S. Eliot’s Sweeney to C. S. Lewis’s Aslan, modern writing has been filled with strange new hybrid human-animal creatures. Feeding on consumer society, these ‘modern primitive’ figures often challenge mainstream ideals by discovering wealth in habitats and resources rather than in economic exchange. What compels our post-human identification with these characters?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Animalism \u003c\/i\u003eexplores representations of the human-animal ‘problem creature’ in a broad assortment of literature and comics from the late nineteenth century to the present — including authors such as Woolf, Joyce, Lawrence, Moore, Murakami, Pullman, Coetzee, and Atwood, and comics creators such as McCay, Herriman, Miyazaki, and Morrison. Drawing on a wide range of scholarship, from environmental economics to psychology, Glenn Willmott examines modern and post-modern allegories of the environment, the animal, and economics, highlighting the enduring and seductive appeal of the modern primitive in an age when living with less remains a powerful cultural wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155106906352,"sku":"9781442695597","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442695597_p0.jpg?v=1763825254","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442695597","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
