Abstract
While animal characters clearly belong in a literary tradition dating back from antiquity, contemporary animal characters differ from their fictional predecessors in that they are not conceived as anthropomorphised allegorical projections of humanity, but are taken seriously both in terms of their otherness and in terms of their animal individuality. The purpose of this study is to identify certain narrative, enunciative and stylistic innovations from a body of fictional stories that result from the narrative and ethical shift that they put into practice. In short, the objective is to examine the emergence of a narrative that is no longer anthropocentric, but zoocentric, usually within the limited framework of “animal sequences”.
