Afterword: Who Are These Animals I Am Following? – Cary Wolfe
What the various contributions to the Edinburgh Companion to Animal Studies demonstrate most, perhaps, is that far more important than the issue of what animal studies may study is the question of what forms of knowing and engagement it may yet produce in the course of continuing to engage – through its diversification and transformation of – the question of the animal.
From A-Z, this book is full of astute companion writers and scholars entangled in rich webs with the lives and deaths of animals, in story, evolution, politics, science fiction, religion, ethics, queer theory, performance, ordinary living, and more. Here is a book that takes seriously the unanswerable but necessary question that gives the Afterword its title, "Who are these animals I am following?" Follow, read, and emerge in the compost that is always more than human.
