This volume addresses its reader after Covid, a time when the distinction between
“the fantastic” or “the virtual” and “the real” was blurred and what man would have
thought to be a part of an American science fiction movie, became a real experience.
A viral attack blocking life globally and a half online life experience thereafter... While
each essay, in their specific contexts, explores “the nonhuman bodies”, it should be
once again noted that this volume was inspired by all of the inhabitants of the World
that are inevitably connected by geographical relation and physical interaction as
well as through collective traumas incorporated into individual stories.
The essays in this volume focus on the relationship between human and nonhuman
bodies while offering in-depth analyses and various insights on their specific
subjects, exploring transformed contexts, literary traditions, and genres, guided by
rich theoretical engagements with posthumanism, ecocriticism, and digital humanities.
As our writers’ essays speak to one another, the whole collection reflects on the
notion of “connection” within the universe.https://www.peterlang.com/docu...

The present article situates the systemic efforts to annihilate stray dogs within the wider picture of Ottoman modernizing reforms in the nineteenth century. The period under investigation witnessed an increasing desire on the part of the modern Ottoman state to control and reform disenfranchised human and animal groups, which were believed to jeopardize public order, security and hygiene. These groups – beggars, orphans and the unemployed – were identified as actors irreconcilable with the modern image that the reforming bureaucracy and modernizing elites sought to project. In the face of increasing challenges from European powers, they were the epitome of underdevelopment and backwardness. Ottoman elites and official authorities therefore proposed and implemented institutional measures in the form of forced labor, reformatories or deportation to reform the conditions of these groups, segregate them from the greater public and discipline them. In the modern period, along with the proposals that called for the removal of dogs, modernizing intellectuals and professionals proposed alternative plans to render non-human animals beneficial to human needs and the modern state's expectations.https://www.tandfonline.com/do...
