Description:
Dodd et. al.'s introduction describes the book as follows:

'Emerging from an international multidisciplinary research project based at the University of Oslo, "Animals as Objects and Animals as Signs," this collection represents a range of responses to a set of key questions about animal materiality and display that cross museum studies, cultural history, history of science, and environmental studies: How are animals transformed into objects? How do animals become signs? How do aesthetics intersect with the standardization of animals? What are the ideological, cultural, and pragmatic dimensions of these processes?' (3)
