Long before the animal/nonhuman turn in the humanities in the 21st century, poets and writers in Arabic have turned to the animal world for companionship, rivalry, wisdom, life lessons, motivation, and inspiration. Often the animal and the nonhuman decenter human subjectivity and offer alternate channels for understanding the world and accounting for experience. This event features readings of selected animal episodes from books published by the Library of Arabic Literature, presented by board members in both Arabic and English, and followed by commentaries and open discussion.
