Using texts from European and Indigenously-informed sources, Steven Wagschal argues that people tend to conceptualize the minds of animals in ways that reflect their own uses for the animal, the manner in which they interact with the animal, and the place in which the animal lives. Often this has little if anything to do with the actual cognitive abilities of the animal. However, occasionally early authors made surprisingly accurate assumptions about the thoughts and feelings of animals."-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Wagschal explores a number of ways in which culture and human cognition interact, including: the utility of anthropomorphism; the symbolic use of animals in medieval Christian texts; attempts at understanding the minds of animals in Spain's early modern farming and hunting books; the effect of novelty on animal conceptualizations in 'New World' histories, and how Cervantes navigated the forms of anthropomorphism that preceded him to create the first embodied animal minds in fiction."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Animals in literature. 650 0 $a Anthropomorphism in literature. 650 0 $a Animals $x Symbolic aspects. 650 0 $a Animal psychology. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships. 650 0 $a Spanish literature $x History and criticism $y Early modern, 1500-1700. 650 0 $a Portuguese literature $x History and criticism $y Early modern, 1500-1700. 650 0 $a Latin American literature $x History and criticism $y Early modern, 1500-1700. 650 7 $a Animal psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809349 650 7 $a Animals in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809580 650 7 $a Animals $x Symbolic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809551 650 7 $a Anthropomorphism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810265 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963482 650 7 $a Literature, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000172 648 7 $a 1500-1700 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Toronto Iberic ; $v 36. 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214050655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3CB95B6E72D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
