La pesca en la ficción:
un análisis desde los estudios críticos animales. Sobre dos ejemplos de literatura popular sobre pesca
Keywords:
fly fishing, fishing literature, fish welfare, literary animal representationsAbstract
Fishing is a powerful social and psychological signifier in modern Western society. Fishing literature is a popular genre that often incorporates depictions of fish and fishing in association with explorations of the human condition, including ideas about religion, masculinity and nature as therapy. This paper explores the ways that such associations often neglect to acknowledge the fish as representative of embodied animals with the capacity to feel pain and suffer.
