In-Between: Liminal Stories
The exquisitely crafted collection of ten short stories particularly depicts the signature of the in-between states of living ‘betwixt and between’ in a transitional world. The current global mobility, socio-cultural illness, political uncertainty, and digital spheres intricately change the constants and perpetuities of human life. The characters in each story encounter such real-life anxieties, ambiguities, uncertainties, and liminal spaces in the plot development. Disparate to the traditional ways of narration, each story prefaced with a poem discusses the quandaries associated with dementia, pandemic insecurities, eventual entanglements, authoritarianism, border disputes, old-age anxieties, environmental concerns, and transgender struggles. Through a multidimensional lens, this volume addresses the underpinning ideas of the diverse liminal states and spaces in the cross-cultural, geographical, axiological, and epistemological existence of human beings.

Doing Animal Studies with Androids, Aliens, and Ghosts
Exploring what can be learnt when literary critics in the field of animal studies temporarily direct attention away from representations of nonhuman animals in literature and towards liminal figures like androids, aliens and ghosts, this book examines the boundaries of humanness. Simultaneously, it encourages the reader both to see nonhuman animals afresh and to reimagine the terms of our relationships with them. Examining imaginative texts by writers such as Octavia Butler, Philip K. Dick, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jeanette Winterson and J. M. Coetzee, this book looks at depictions of androids that redefine traditional humanist qualities such as hope and uniqueness. It examines alien visions that unmask the racist and heteronormative roots of speciesism. And it unpacks examples of ghosts and spirits who offer posthumous visions of having-been-human that decenter anthropocentrism. In doing so, it leaves open the potential for better relationships and futures with nonhuman animals.
