Animal Housing and Human–Animal Relations

This book provides an in-depth investigation into the practices of animal housing systems with international contributions from across the humanities and social sciences. By attending to a range of different sites such as the zoo the laboratory the farm and the animal shelter to name a few the book explores material technologies from the perspective that these are integrated parts of a larger biopolitical infrastructure and questions how animal housing systems and the physical infrastructures that surround central human-animal practices come into being.
