Hybrids, chimeras, monsters, and liminal creatures of all sorts inhabit these pages, as indeed they do the pages of the cultural archive from Antiquity and the Middle Ages to the present day: everything from the harpies, ape-men, and cynocephali that inhabit the edges of medieval maps and taxonomies to the Krampuses and Furries that roam through Alpine villages and convention centers today. Yet these chimeras are not aberrations; rather, they reveal an essential truth about culture and artistic expression. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What emerges in \u003ci\u003eBecoming Animal\u003c\/i\u003e is a kaleidoscopic image of culture as the constant probing of the limits of the sayable, as an unending process of attempting to capture in words and symbols that which cannot be pinned down.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeresa Pr?auer\u003c\/b\u003e is an author and visual artist based in Vienna. \u003ci\u003eBecoming Animal\u003c\/i\u003e is her first work to be published in English. \u003cb\u003eK?ri Driscoll\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in comparative literature at Utrecht University and an award-winning translator.
