Dear Colleagues,
Guest Edited by Thomas David DuBois, the Summer 2018 issue of Pakistan Journal of Historical Studies on “Animals Without Borders” is now out. The semiannual scholarly journal is published by Indiana University Press, USA.
The field of animal studies cannot be contained by discipline or phenomena. Animals are our friends and our food. They live in our homes and in our dreams. They stare down at us from temple walls, and call out to us as victims of our intentional and unintentional cruelty. This issue of the Pakistan Journal of Historical Studies explores the relationship between animals and humans. Four original articles explore the imagined and symbolic significance of animals in religious literature and social movements, the place of animals in the courts of kings, and the ways that animals bridge the limitations in our own brief lives.
