Review of Sherryl Vint, Animal Alterity: Science Fiction and the Question of the Animal	2011	3	.pdf	application/pdf	901	22	23	Pushing Jacques Derrida’s famous proposition (“And say the animal responded?”) to describe her dog’s precise, intentional, and intense modes of communication as those of a Klingon warrior princess, Donna Haraway’s more recent investigations of companion species extend a longstanding assumption that science fiction offers the best suggestions for transforming ideas about non/human relations. Cleverly written both to introduce seasoned researchers in animal studies to the study of science fiction, as well as to clarify the relevance of this small sub-field of literary studies to much broader and growing interdisciplinary discussions, Animal Alterity makes the case that some exceptional writers in this genre offer ideal models for “find[ing] a way to connect with and respect alterity without reducing it to an image of self” (225).	cache/humanimalia-10062.pdf	txt/humanimalia-10062.txt
