Framing Possums: War, Sport And Patriotism In Depictions Of Brushtail Possums In New Zealand Print Media, Ally Mccrow-Young, Tobias Linné, Annie K. Potts
Framing Possums: War, Sport And Patriotism In Depictions Of Brushtail Possums In New Zealand Print Media, Ally Mccrow-Young, Tobias Linné, Annie K. Potts
Animal Studies Journal
There is a common saying in Aotearoa New Zealand: ‘the only good possum is a dead possum’. This colloquialism demonstrates much about the negative reputation and maltreatment of brushtail possums in New Zealand. Introduced to this country from their native Australia in the 1800s, possums thrived in their new predator-free environment. Possums' adaptability has since proved to be problematic, not least for the nation's lucrative meat and dairy industries. In the past few decades a concerted campaign mounted by the New Zealand government has targeted possums as ruthless pests, demonizing these marsupials to the extent that international tourists are even …
A Day With Crows - Rarity, Nativity And The Violent-Care Of Conservation, Thom Van Dooren
A Day With Crows - Rarity, Nativity And The Violent-Care Of Conservation, Thom Van Dooren
Animal Studies Journal
This article explores the intermingled violence and care of endangered species conservation. The structure of the paper takes the form of a narrative account of a day spent at the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center in Hawai‘i, observing staff taking care of a captive population of critically endangered Hawaiian crows (Corvus hawaiiensis). Over the course of the day some animals were cared for (especially endangered birds), while others were trapped and killed as part of the conservation management of the larger property (i.e. feral pigs). This article works with these examples and the broader context of the Hawaiian crow project to …
Dingoes And Dog-Whistling: A Cultural Politics Of Race And Species In Australia, Fiona Probyn-Rapsey
Dingoes And Dog-Whistling: A Cultural Politics Of Race And Species In Australia, Fiona Probyn-Rapsey
Animal Studies Journal
For the last 30 years in Australia, the extinction of the dingo has been a subject of great concern. But what this usually means is not that dingoes are being pushed to the brink because of gunshot or baits (though such persecution is happening[1]). In fact, it is not even so much a matter of dingo death but rather dingo birth, or the queer[2] relations of dingo and domestic/wild dog, that is the major concern. As Laurie Corbett once wrote: ‘cross-breeding is common and the pure dingo gene pool is being swamped’. His words (though he is by no means …
The Ongoing Impact Of Domestic Violence On Animal Welfare, Catherine M. Tiplady, Deborah B. Walsh, J. C. Phillips
The Ongoing Impact Of Domestic Violence On Animal Welfare, Catherine M. Tiplady, Deborah B. Walsh, J. C. Phillips
Animal Studies Journal
A study of five women who had left violent relationships six months previously was undertaken to elicit information on the importance of companion animals during the violence and subsequent period. The questions focused on the women’s experiences of companion animal ownership during domestic violence, incidents of animal abuse/neglect, animals’ behavioural changes, experiences of veterinarians as a source of support and perpetrators’ use of human/animal directed violence. We found that (1) companion animal behavioural changes persisted after the violent relationship, (2) perpetrators selectively controlled their violent behaviour and (3) veterinarians were not considered useful sources of support by all women interviewed. …
Miffy And Me: Developing An Auto-Ethnographic Approach To The Study Of Companion Animals And Human Loneliness, Adrian Franklin
Miffy And Me: Developing An Auto-Ethnographic Approach To The Study Of Companion Animals And Human Loneliness, Adrian Franklin
Animal Studies Journal
Despite the consistent claim that companion animals can and do alleviate human loneliness, a recent systematic review of quantitative studies of human loneliness and companion animals (Gilbey and Tani 2015) found no evidence to support this ‘belief’ (as they put it), except in animal-assisted therapy (and even there the authors were not entirely convinced that they do). Taking their article as a starting point this paper develops a critical examination of quantitative methodologies that have been used to date and suggests that they have not taken into account the extent and complexity of contemporary human loneliness or how companion animals …
Horses In Modern, New, And Contemporary Circus, Katie Lavers
Horses In Modern, New, And Contemporary Circus, Katie Lavers
Animal Studies Journal
Circus is an art form that developed around horses and trick riding. Philip Astley, an excavalry man who had recently returned to London after fighting in Europe in the Seven Years War (1756- 63), founded Modern Circus when he introduced clowns, musicians and acrobats to cover the changeover in his riding displays. Daring, acrobatic stunt riding remained the central most important element in modern circus. The strong sense of connection developed between a cavalryman and his horse through the sense of shared mortality on the battlefield was an important element informing the presentation of horses in modern circus. Running counter …

‘What he heard’ is a creative exploration of Jacob von Uexküll’s concept of Umwelt. von Uexküll posits that the earth comprises ‘unique worlds with equal completeness’ and that ‘the first task of Umwelt research is to identify each animal’s perceptual cues among the stimuli in its environment and to build up the animal’s specific world with them’ (von Uexküll 1957, 13). The three animals in the story perceive the world in markedly different ways. The first animal, the dog, perceives his environment as an olfactory space. He configures the world into a series of ‘scent lines’: the bushland becomes a …

One of the most valuable aspects of collections based on Animal Studies conference papers is the way the essays reflect and display how far the field has developed at a specific time. This is a vibrant, fast-growing inter-, trans- and cross-disciplinary area of study and the essays in collections over the last 10 years indicate the enormous range of topics, perspectives and approaches such studies can take. In the case of the five biennial conferences held by the Australasian Animal Studies Association (AASA), formerly the Australian Animal Studies Group, the papers presented indicate not only the evolution and variety of …

Images of animals we no longer share the world with carry with them a discordant sense of life as simultaneously tangible and elusive. Any attempt to read sense into anthropogenic extinction, or deliberate or careless extermination, forces us to negotiate our positon in relation to these deaths: how do we remove ourselves from such killings; how do we come to grips with the way we are connected to or have gained advantage from the deaths of these others? For Australians, and particularly Tasmanians, the figure of the thylacine provokes an uneasy and unhappy connection with the very recent past. At …
