Abstract

The Monologue of a Dog Entangled in History. On Non‑human War Narrations

The article provides an endeavour to look at animal narration in the context of Shoah literature. Focusing primarily on Asher Kravitz’s novel The Jewish Dog, the author examines whether letting a non‑human creature speak is only a desire to create a new representation or rather a part of the visible tendency to both include beings other than human in our history and everyday life, and affirm their role in these areas.

Key words: animal narration, Asher Kravitz, posthumanism, animal character
