Animals as people "The others"
Reading & talk by Lea Schneider with Mara-Daria Cojocaru
Author and translator Lea Schneider radically rethinks our relationship to animals. She believes that the current distinction between "human" and "animal" has been called into question by the latest research. Animals are also to be understood as "subjects", as "persons" who help shape our common world through their actions. Modern biology is thus moving closer to the interpretations of indigenous traditions of thought. Lea Schneider is working on a detailed essay on this topic. Poet Mara-Daria Cojocaru has been working on facets of this topic for some time. Both authors will be sharing their experiences and perspectives for the first time at the festival.
