• Summary:Brutally and forcefully, Becoming Animal connects the animalization of art history to the use of negatively charged animal metaphors in contemporary, everyday rhetoric. Unlike animals, humans are painfully conscious of their own existence and mortality. Becoming Animal explores this fact through works by Francisco de Goya, Albert Oehlen, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Matias Faldbakken and others.
  
• Notes:"This publication is published in connection with the exhibition Becoming Animal--curated by Claus Carstensen at Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Copenhagen, and the Museum of Religious Art, Lemvig"--Colophon.
  "The publication is a manifestation of Carstensen's long-term research into attempts to explain human existence in art history. ... The publication is research based, with eight peer-reviewed articles by leading scholars in the field"--Foreword.
