摘要
This essay examines the productivity of Anat Pick's notion of the creaturely for rethinking the history of human/animal relations. Identifying the Romantic period as a formative epoch for this purpose, it discusses the ways in which poems by Christopher Smart and John Clare articulate a shared mode of embodiment that extends subjectivity and agency beyond the realm of the human. From a biocentric and biosemiotic perspective that acknowledges non-human modes and experiences of existence as meaningful, these poems constitute first stepping stones toward a literary genealogy of a creaturely poetics that acknowledges non-human creatures as 'significant others'.
