Description
The process of picturing an animal’s point of view necessarily employs categories that humans use to construe their reality and define their own identity. So, it becomes relevant to examine different aspects of this fictional dynamic. In light of this and the proliferation of studies considering the “question of the animal” in film and media, my PhD project focuses on how horse characters point of view is depicted in live action film adaptations. I examine the aesthetic, theoretical and material implications of these fictional representations. While operating within the broader field of Cultural Studies, my methodologies include Human Animal and Critical Animal Studies, Film Analysis and Adaptation Studies. In one of my chapters, I focus on three film adaptations of Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty (1877) that engage with the representation of horse point of view and that are in line with the selecting questions that I use for my corpus.
