Yet, it is also through direct contact with animals that we define ourselves as human, through understanding what connects us to them and what differentiates us. This essay examines this intimate connection through a scene present in many literary texts: the encounter between human and non-human animals. Based on a wide-ranging survey exploring the literary field of the last century, this book seeks to uncover the ways in which writing echoes the empathy expressed towards animals and, in particular, the importance of encounters as triggers for a strong commitment to animal rights and ecology in the broadest sense.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antinoë","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42760498807024,"sku":"25625","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4043\/6408\/products\/couv_livre_3276.jpg?v=1651146244","url":"https:\/\/anttopinoe.com\/en-en\/products\/nos-regards-se-sont-croises-la-scene-de-la-rencontre-avec-un-animal","provider":"Antinoë","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
