Abstract
Animal history: New research opportunities
Highlights
The traditional definition of history implies that this science is related to the past social reality, and that the main subject of history is res gestae1 – the actions of people, i.e. social actions
The new research on the history of human-animal relationships focuses on how these interspecific relationships are built, what they are, bearing in mind the effects that such relations might have
The modern time got us used to such an interpretation of historical science, the pre-Renaissance paradigm of history included in the subject of history, apart from the actual social reality, both the Divine reality and the natural one[2]
Summary
The article contains analysis of the modern trends in historiography, in which there has been observed another methodological ‘change ’ described as ‘animal turn’. The traditional anthropocentrism of historical research, in the author's opinion, is replaced by the study of relationships between man and animals in line with economic, social and cultural history, military history, intellectual history, the history of science, the history of medicine and other fields of historical knowledge. The new research on the history of human-animal relationships focuses on how these interspecific relationships (animal-human relations) are built, what they are, bearing in mind the effects that such relations might have
