Each chapter is well written and give a penetrating look at animals and the socially constructed world of human/animals--as portrayed in film and expressed through culture. One of the most important aspects of the book is that it is so readable and i think of great appeal to film buffs/lovers who has yet to consider; but is open to; the human/animal relationships as portrayed in film.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good topic; but if you are not familiar with "lit crit" this may not be for you.By lyndonbrechtThis short book is heavy on critical theory and academic in style. Even so; its more readable than most work on what used to be called literary criticism. The animal in culture has been a hot topic recently; which is good. This book may be a bit much for the general reader.It considers photography; zoos (where people look at animals); some fiction. He sees the "human gaze" as inherently exploitive. Note; the idea of a "gaze" comes from lit crit; where the "male gaze" is an important term of analysis in examining how men have over time viewed women;One odd note is that Malamud gives credit to some animated films for giving animals some agency. That "agency" is also from the literary criticism vocabulary; but useful. Here it has the meaning of giving animals some power; rather than being simply victimized by human exploitation.
