Digital Cultural Heritage
This book provides an overview of various application spheres and supports further innovations needed in information management and in the processes of knowledge generation.The professions, organizations and scientific associations involved are unusually challenged by the complexity of the data situation.Cartography has always been the central field of application for georeferencing digital cultural heritage (DCH) objects.It is particularly important in enabling spatial relation analysis between any number of DCH objects or of their granular details.In addition to the pure geometric aspects, the cognitive relations that lead to knowledge representation and derivation of innovative use processes are also of increasing importance.Further, there is a societal demand for spatial reference and analytics (e.g. the extensive use of cognitive concepts of "map" and "atlas" for a variety of social topics in the media).There is a huge geometrical-logical-cognitive potential for complex, multimedia, digital-cultural-heritage databases and stakeholders expect handling, transmission and processing operations with guaranteed long-term availability for all other stakeholders.In the future, whole areas of digital multimedia databases will need to be processed to further our understanding of historical and cultural contexts.This is an important concern for the information society and presents significant challenges for cartography in all these domains. This book collects innovative technical and scientific work on the entire process of object digitization, including detail extraction, archiving and interoperability of multimedia DCH data.

Tourism, Heritage and Commodification of Non-human Animals : A Posthumanist Reflection
Heritage is a social construction rooted in modern and contemporary societies.It is commonly a positive assessment of many elements of the physical and human environment (e.g. ecosystems and landscapes, monuments, customs, gender norms, religious practices, gastronomy, and livelihoods).Heritage and tourism are strongly related to each other in that heritage gives rise to tourist attractions and activities, and tourism enhances the designation of heritage sites.Non-human animals (hereafter 'animals') are present as implicit or explicit heritage elements through multiple tourist environments: animals may be themselves the heritage focus of tourist interest (visual arts, gastronomy, as charismatic and distinguished beings, as part of festivities or rituals), or it may be that animals are agents involved in heritage tourist environments such as working animals or in recreational activities.A post-humanist perspective the moral valuation of equality between humans and other animals demands that both are sentient beings and self-aware of their pain and pleasure.Thus, the involvement of animals as heritage elements by themselves or as an element of tourist consumption in heritage sites implies their commodification and lack of agency.As such, these practices are usually unethical, since they threaten the animals' primary interests: not to suffer, not to feel pain and to be able to live their freedom.This book contains chapters that reveal both the unethical interactions between humans and animals within heritage tourism, and those that show experiences in which efforts are made to minimize damage within the commercialization of animals involved as heritage themselves.It will be of interest to postgraduate students, academics, NGOs and tourism planners.

Live, Die, Buy, Eat : A Cultural History of Animals and Meat
Live, Die, Buy, Eat. These words represent a chain of events which today is disconnected.In the past few years, controversies around meat have arisen around industrialization and globalization of meat production, often pivoting around health, environmental issues, and animal welfare.Although meat increasingly figures as a problem, most consumers’ knowledge of animal husbandry and meat production is more absent than ever.Tracing a historical process of alienation along three distinct axes, the authors show how the animal origin of meat is covered up, rationalized, forgotten, excused, neglected, and denied.How is meat produced today, and where? How do we consume meat, and how have our consumption habits changed?Why have these changes occurred, and what are the social and cultural consequences of these changes?Using Norway as a case study, this book examines the dramatic changes in meat production and consumption over the last 150 years.With a wide range of historical sources, together with interviews and observation at farms, slaughterhouses, and production units, as well as analyses of contemporary texts and digital sources, Live, Die, Buy, Eat explores the transformation of animal husbandry, meat production and consumption, together with its cultural consequences.It will appeal to scholars of anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, geography, and history with an interest in food, agriculture, environment, and culture.

What Is Extinction? : A Natural and Cultural History of Last Animals
WINNER, 25th ANNUAL SUSANNE M. GLASSCOCK BOOK PRIZELife on Earth is facing a mass extinction event of our own making.Human activity is changing the biology and the meaning of extinction.What Is Extinction? examines several key moments that have come to define the terms of extinction over the past two centuries, exploring instances of animal and human finitude and the cultural forms used to document and interpret these events. Offering a critical theory for the critically endangered, Joshua Schuster proposes that different discourses of limits and lastness appear in specific extinction events over time as a response to changing attitudes toward species frailty.Understanding these extinction events also involves examining what happens when the conceptual and cultural forms used to account for species finitude are pressed to their limits as well.Schuster provides close readings of several case studies of extinction that bring together environmental humanities and multispecies methods with media-specific analyses at the terminus of life. What Is Extinction? delves into the development of last animal photography, the anthropological and psychoanalytic fascination with human origins and ends, the invention of new literary genres of last fictions, the rise of new extreme biopolitics in the Third Reich that attempted to change the meaning of extinction, and the current pursuit of de-extinction technologies.Schuster offers timely interpretations of how definitions and visions of extinction have changed in the past and continue to change in the present.

Which animals are both pack animals and solitary animals?
Wolves are animals that exhibit both pack behavior and solitary behavior. While they are known for living and hunting in packs, wolves are also capable of surviving on their own when necessary. They may temporarily leave the pack to search for food or establish their own territory. This ability to adapt to different social structures makes wolves unique in their behavior as both pack animals and solitary animals.
-
Do animals resemble other animals?
Yes, animals can resemble other animals in various ways. This can be due to evolutionary relationships, convergent evolution, or simply sharing similar ecological niches. For example, dolphins and sharks have similar streamlined body shapes due to their shared aquatic lifestyle, despite being very distantly related. Similarly, the thylacine, a now-extinct marsupial, had a striking resemblance to a wolf or dog, despite being a completely different type of mammal. Overall, there are many examples of animals resembling each other in different ways.
-
Can animals rape other animals?
Yes, animals can engage in non-consensual sexual behavior, which can be considered a form of rape. This behavior is often observed in certain species where males may use force or coercion to mate with females. For example, male dolphins have been known to exhibit aggressive and coercive behavior towards females, and male ducks have been observed to force copulation on females. These instances of non-consensual sexual behavior in animals are a result of natural instincts and mating strategies, but they can be considered a form of sexual violence.

According to Arnold Gehlen, animals are neither deficient beings nor cultural beings.
According to Arnold Gehlen, animals are neither deficient beings nor cultural beings. Gehlen argues that animals are not deficient because they are well-adapted to their environments and have their own unique ways of interacting with the world. At the same time, he also argues that animals are not cultural beings because they do not possess the capacity for symbolic communication and the creation of complex social structures. Instead, Gehlen sees animals as existing in a middle ground between deficiency and culture, with their own distinct mode of being in the world.
