The book focuses on how increasing and ongoing isolation and concealment of slaughter from the surrounding society affects readings and depictions of slaughter and abattoirs in literature, and on the degree to which depictions of animals being slaughtered creates an avenue for empathic reactions in the reader or the opportunity for reflections on human-animal relations. Through chapters on abattoir fictions in relation to narrative empathy, anthropomorphism, urban spaces, rural spaces, human identities and horror fiction, Sune Borkfelt contributes to debates in literary animal studies, human-animal studies and beyond. Sune Borkfelt lectures at Aarhus University, Denmark. His publications include articles and book chapters on nonhuman otherness, postcolonial animals, the naming of nonhuman animals, and the ethics of animal product marketing. He is also co-author of a critical research-based Danish book on hunting. 001446718 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001446718 650_0 $$aSlaughtering and slaughter-houses in literature. 001446718 650_0 $$aHuman-animal relationships in literature. 001446718 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001446718 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBorkfelt, Sune.$$tReading slaughter.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783030989149$$w(OCoLC)1314338950 001446718 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in animals and literature. 001446718 852__ $$bebk 001446718 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-98915-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001446718 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1446718$$pGLOBAL_SET 001446718 980__ $$aBIB 001446718 980__ $$aEBOOK 001446718 982__ $$aEbook 001446718 983__ $$aOnline 001446718 994__ $$a92$$bISE
