- Abstract:
- ABSTRACT: Most traditional interpretations of literary animals focus on the animals' metaphoric or symbolic significance, exposing the prevailing anthropocentrism of the humanities in general, and literary studies in particular. The present examination of selected Russian fairy tales helps demonstrate that in many Russian fairy tales animals exercise agency and retain subjectivity. Such portrayals of animals and the resulting human–animal relationship suggest an ecosystemic worldview in which humans are positioned on an equal plane with other living beings.
