Summary

New approaches in historiography combine the study of war and violence with human#x2013;animal studies. This type of ‘animate history’ is pursued here. The postulate is that the fabric of history is made up of the interaction of diverse and multiple living creatures possessing different types and degrees of (factual) agency. This perspective changes the historiography of warfare by including animals in the tableau of historically meaningful actors and actions. In its history of humans and animals in wartime, the chapter discusses inter-species relationships during and after periods of war, inter alia by suggesting a specific reading of the role ascribed to animals in war memorials.
