Excellent- More about Dogs and Cats in South Korea: Itinerant Commodities
Dogs and cats in South Korea are consumed in the millions each year, but they are also recipients of both cruelty and care. Stereotypes by societies that do not eat these animals overshadow the various ways in which South Korean citizens interact with them, including companionship. In fact, many dogs and cats go from companion to livestock, and from livestock to companion, demonstrating that the relationships with these creatures are not only complex, but also fluid.

Dogs and Cats in South Korea: Itinerant Commodities delves into the intricate dynamics between these beloved pets and the society they inhabit. While dogs and cats are widely consumed in millions each year, their experiences differ significantly from other animal species in South Korean culture. The simplistic narratives of anti-imperialism and postcolonialism often overshadow the diverse ways in which South Korean citizens engage with these animals. Stereotypes that categorize individuals who do not consume these animals overshadow the profound companionship that can be found between humans and their canine and feline companions.
In reality, many dogs and cats transition from companions to livestock and back, showcasing the complex and fluid relationships that exist between humans and these creatures. The trajectories of their lives are anything but linear, reflecting the multifaceted nature of their existence. In South Korea, dogs and cats are itinerant animals navigating an exchange system driven by culture, economics, and politics. Author Jean Dugnoille skillfully unravels the intricate stories of these animals, as well as the humans who commodify and singularize them. Through her nuanced and cultural understanding, Dugnoille provides a captivating portrayal of the complex tapestry of lives that intertwine with dogs and cats in South Korea.
