Talk To the Animals: A Short Comment on Wolfgang Welsch's "Animal Aesthetics"
Stefan Snaevarr (Contemporary Aesthetics)
Can animals feel aesthetic pleasure?
Submitted by LisaJ [Write Review]
Review by Squid (04/18/06 11:36:12):
Stefan Snaevarr responds to Wolfang Welsch's "Animal Aesthetics" by bringing up two concerns that would possibly disprove Welsch's idea of the possibility of animals being able to feel aesthetic pleasure.
The first concern deals with the epistemological concept. Snaevarr asserts that animals do not have a system like language to express whether or not they feel aesthetic delight nor is there any real means of expressing through body language (as opposed to humans being able to use hands, mouth, eyes, etc. to create gestures and facial expressions).
The other concern is the conceptual kind. Snaevarr explains about the difference between a sensation and a feeling. A sensation refers to physical space and often deals with the body (ie: pain). A feeling, as Snaevarr puts it, has no localized space. But in order to show feelings and emotions, we derive and link their identity (anger, happiness, sadness, etc.) partly from an intentional object. He explains that the intentional object could be something that exist in physical space, be it tangible or not. The author claims that animals cannot make this link between emotions and objects because they do not have a language system like humans.
Interesting read. Considering Koko thinks her painting is toilet.

Review by Brose (04/16/06 19:03:05):
An article essentially about devices produced to communicate with dogs and cows. Bowlingal, made by a japanese manufactorer, is commercially sold to interpret what a dogs bark means. The device records the bark and then translates it into text for a human to read. Researchers in Germany have developed a similar device that records a cow's moos that is geared more towards a farmer. With its accuracy being 90%, it is said to be most effective to determine the prime mating time for the cow, which could benefit a farmer significantly when breeding cows. The article also briefly explains Jim Nollman's process when he communicates with orca whales.

This was in interesting if not strange article on the bond which may form between humans and the research animals on which they perform tests. The author gave some basic scenarios regarding what is a necessary enviornment suitable to forming bonds, and though I see this as being able to happen in a labratory, i found it if nothing a little critical. how can a true bond occur when one of the species is being used solely for the other's benefit? I just dont find that possible.

Pet Animal Behavior: How Dogs Think
William E. Campbell (Dogworld Magazine)
Related animal: Dog
This article could be considered a bit of a "bubble-buster" for dog lovers. Campbell describes that dogs, contrary to popular belief, cannot actually for original thoughts or ideas. Instead, he believes the dog "Imagines" images to put thoughts to together, such as food on a plate or a leash, symbolizing a walk. In this sense, he believe a dog's primary communication is based upon sight, and not upon distinctive memories.

With a house of two dogs and two cats, I found this article quite interesting. I know there are several people out there owning both dogs and cats who strugglewith the co-existance. In this article, De Gruy gives a detailed explanation of how to teach the two to co-inhabit one home. With commands such as "NO! Leave It!" She says persistance and patience are key in training a dog to leave a cat alone. I also found it interesting that she neglected to talk about the possibility of a CAT chasing a DOG, as is often the case in my home. :)

Oh My Goodness- This website struck me as quite an ironic counterpart to my Reverse-Fashion Project. While I am interested in seeing what types of clothing and fasion a cat is interested in and then putting it on- this website does quite the opposite. The humans here have chosen the clothing and accessories and dressed the cats up in them. Some may call it animal cruelty, some may just call it tacky. I definitely have mixed feelings, but can't help but chuckle when they ask "Is your cat a Julie Andrews or a Joan Crawford?"

Great text...some really important points..for example
"Recently, though, many in the scientific community have begun to rethink the human/animal divide. 'All vertebrates,' says Gay Bradshaw, an animal psychologist at Oregon State University's environmental sciences graduate program, 'are basically functioning with the same mind and psyche.' The 'differencing model' of human identity, she argues, doesn't just mistakenly characterize the natural world as something for humans to rule and exploit; it also inhibits scientific understanding."

Review by mlifshin (04/14/09 16:43:36):
In this article I was interested in the ideological evident in the scientists interpretation of their results. They use clinical language to cast the relationship in a very utilitarian light, almost like prostitution, by talking about how the behavior increases chances of fertilization and increases evolutionary advantage. To me the description of the relationship seems no different than human marriage, or other similar long term arrangements. I think the reluctance to view the relationship from an emotional perspective is again reflective of human's desire to distance our own behaviors from that of animals.
