Animaux dans la ville (xixe-xxie siècle)

The texts in this book are based on papers presented at a conference held at Gustave Eiffel University in Champs-sur-Marne. Researchers from various disciplines share their perspectives on “animals in the city” as part of a program launched in 2020 on knowledge and cultures of urban biodiversity. They analyze how representations and interactions between humans and non-humans have evolved from the 19th to the 21st century. It is an invitation to reflect on our relationship with other forms of life in urban environments faced with conflicting social, emotional, economic, and ecological demands.
