Anthropomorphised Animals in Pop Culture: BoJack Horseman and The Darwin Incident


Listen Later

Claire, Ruby and Nick discuss representations of animal rights in the media, focusing on the cartoon BoJack Horseman and the manga The Darwin Incident by Shun Umezawa. We cover the portrayal of anthropomorphised (human-like) animals in these examples, factory farmed versus "free-range" animal products and factions within the animal advocacy movement.  Links: Animal Horror: An investigation into animal rights, horror cinema and the double standards of violent human behaviour by Gunnar Theodór Eggertsson – academic article: https://www.academia.edu/543200/Animal_Horror_An_investigation_into_animal_rights_horror_cinema_and_the_double_standards_of_violent_human_behaviour?email_work_card=title KINDRED by Patricia Piccinini – art work: https://melbourne.sciencegallery.com/not-natural-exhibits/kindred You can hear Ruby discuss her research on veganism in Japan on a previous FoS show: https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/%E2%80%9Csoft%E2%80%9D-activism-path-forward-veganism-japan-ruby-ramsden  Music:  Animal Liberation by Los Fastidios: https://www.losfastidios.net/ Kangaroo by Remi Wolf: https://www.remiwolf.com/ Melbourne Bitter by Cousin Tony’s Brand New Firebird: https://cousintonys.bandcamp.com/ No War by Lowkey and Styles P: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivXiYqbCMt8&list=RDivXiYqbCMt8&start_radio=1  Thanks so much to everyone who donated to our Radiothon campaign!
