@Naturalbodies20 it crosses over the boundaries between human/animal and human/cyborg. The C21 saw this become thoroughly breached what does it means to be the other/or humanAn example the animal and cyborg as symbolic of each other is Disney’sToyStory https://t.co/IihwTJNLxL
@Naturalbodies20@Naturalbodies20 It makes be question when I play with my cat or dog, who knows if I am not a just a pastime to her more that she is to me?
@Naturalbodies20@Naturalbodies20 Alice’s conversation with Dinah her pet becomes one sided in Disney’s 1951 film adaptation, the act of interpretation of human centric comment about the habit of the cat/kitten seems insincere -Inconvenient habit of kittens that whatever you say they always purr.
@Naturalbodies20@FernSting @Isbrand3 @Naturalbodies20 @Isbrand3 the fantasy narrative structure relies heavily on its relationship with reality. It offers moral teachings. It is a tool that provides a safe place to discuss bothersome questions. Providing a moderate approachable view that children can understand.
@Naturalbodies20@Naturalbodies20 pets mean different things to different people. It’s seems that the pet ‘exists’ in the liminal position between the socially constructed categories of the pet/human and pet/object.
@Naturalbodies20@MermaidsDrown@Naturalbodies20@MermaidsDrown Tenniel’s illustrations of Wonderland further aims to affect the reader’s view of Carroll’s use of animals and even challenges the idea of humans as superior. For example, in this image the mouse tells the story to Alice and the other animals.
@underthestone1@Naturalbodies20@Naturalbodies20@underthestone1 The Bandersnatch, the Queen of Hearts ‘pet’ is a creature: it is not really an animal but it is not human either. It is the Bandersnatch’s emotional capacity and empathy with Alice that places the creature I think somewhere in middle of the two.
@underthestone1@Naturalbodies20@Naturalbodies20@underthestone1 the adaptations of the Bandersnatch as a imagined creature, hints at the ‘pet trending’ of exotic creatures. It’s our need as humans to dominion this animals that often leads to miscommunication between species -there mistreatment and exploitation
@Naturalbodies20@ABailey3810@Naturalbodies20@ABailey3810 In this instance the commodification of the pet is the way in which Dinah is seen as inferior to humans. It’s the need for humans to look after her, to provide her with food and shelter. “I hope, they’ll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time.”
