Picturing the Beast
As with his book The Postmodern Animal, this precursor text is full of scintillating and original analyses of the representation of animals in art, entertainment, politics, and propaganda. The chapters on "the rhetoric of animality" and the "iconography of power" were fascinating, but the chapter on "unraveling the animal system" was the real eye-opener regarding the representation of animals in western culture.
