2026: Special Issue. ANIMAL PRIVACY: Historical and Conceptual Approaches
This special issue addresses notions of animal privacy by exploring how historical and contemporary human-animal relationships inform how privacy has been understood, conceptualized, and enacted: conversely, it also examines how human conceptualizations of privacy inform how other species are understood and humans’ relationships with those species. Coming from multiple disciplinary perspectives, the authors engage with animals in relation to privacy in history, art, sound studies, ethics, surveillance studies, and trans-species studies. The articles in this volume stem from ongoing discussions resulting from a workshop of the same name that took place in November 2021, organized by the Centre for Privacy Studies at the University of Copenhagen and the Kent Animal Humanities Network at the University of Kent.
