Part 1
Question 1:
How have the animals encountered in recent modules–gorillas, raccoons, horses, and cattle–been considered kin (or not) to human societies? Where and when have relationships of kinship been established? Where and when–and why–have they been rejected, resisted, or denied? How does thinking of other animals in terms of kinship shed light on our shared histories with them?
Part 2:
Question 3:
Donna Haraway wrote of dogs: “They are not a projection, nor the realization of an intention, nor the telos of anything. They are dogs; ie. a species in obligatory, constitutive, historical, protean relationships with human beings […] Dogs are my story here, but they are only one player in the world of companion species.”
What animals would you consider to be “companion species” to humans? Which animals fall outside of this definition, and why? Do certain animals challenge this boundary? Building from Donna Haraway’s definition, and drawing from the examples we have looked at in the course, consider the benefits and limitations of this framework for studying animals in history.
For citations, please in-text citations + Bibliography. I will provide the needed sources. The word limit should be 1500 words in total (750 words for each question). Please be noted that these two questions must be answered separately. Only use the readings that I provide. The notes and slides are there to help you understand he course content.
