Avian Hybridity in “The Squire’s Tale”: Uses of Anthropomorphism

Abstract

I n recent years, anthropomorphism has received bad press, as a simplistic or excessively sentimental mode of thought. For purposes of animal studies, the error of anthropomorphism is the presumption inherent in attributing human attributes to animals. In so doing, we deprive animals of their own subjectivity and impose what Rosi Braidotti describes as an “asymmetric relation to animals” that is “framed by power relations biased in favor of human access to the bodies of animal others.”1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
