The subject of the conference invites contributions from the literary, historical, visual, film, media and musical sciences as well as from animal philosophy and animal theory, which examine cultural, social, and historic manifestations and practices that can be read with an emphatic understanding of ‘encounters’ and inquire into the structure, possibility and the meaning of encounters between humans and animals.
