Knowing Animals showcases original explorations of the ‘animal turn’ by new and eminent scholars in philosophy, literary criticism, art history and cultural studies. The essays collected here describe a lively bestiary of cultural organisms, whose flesh is (at least partly) conceptual and textual: paper tigers, beast fables, anthropomorphs, humanimals, l’animot. In so doing, they investigate the benefits of knowing animals differently: more closely, less definitively, more carefully, less certainly.

The status of these works has always been ambiguous. Were they actually completed by McCahon or left abandoned? Are the artistic effects found within them intentional or merely the effect of chance? Against most readings of McCahon, which decide one way or another, the authors try to keep both options open. They attempt to show how this might work with regard to the painting understood to be McCahon's very last, I considered all the acts of oppression (1981).
