Humanimals Reading: A Local Bestiary
INFORMATION FOR READERS
This local public bestiary is being made by UBC students as part of their independent work in a second-year undergraduate course, about animals and reading in the premodern Romance world. You can find out more about the rest of the course in other areas of this site.
Our bestiary is a collection of local animals.
“Local” brings together immediate and global environments: it could be UBC, Vancouver, the Pacific north-west coast, or any other part or parts of the world that are an individual student’s place of belonging. Some of us have more than one home, and some of us are writing together.
Our animals are of many sorts. There might be fabulous creatures here, mythical beasts, monsters, dreams, spirits, ghosts, demons, gods. Some of them might not usually count as animals, some might not usually count as real or as actual things that exist in this world.
Welcome to our world.
