Berger’s essay presents a broad range of rich insights into the relationships between humans and animals. I welcome your response to any aspects you find interesting, surprising, or confusing. In particular, I encourage you to consider animals in relation to language, metaphor, and mortality/immortality, as well as the ways in which animals are sentimentalized and mediated (in zoos, documentaries, children’s books, etc.) in postindustrial societies.
How does Berger’s understanding of the modern, industrialized person’s relationship to the animal provide some possible insights into Treadwell’s (and/or Herzog’s) view of the grizzly bear?
