Abstract

Postage stamp imagery reveals how humans see other animals in their society; how this relationship changes over time; and in particular political, economic, and cultural contexts; and what the stamp-issuing state wishes to communicate to its citizens. A qualitative mixed-methods exploration of this overlooked, easily accessible visual data identifies trends and representative examples of human-animal relations in Finnish society during the country’s independence (1917-2016). The empirical discussion strengthens method(olog)ical discussion on visual culture and data in animal studies. The examination shows the value of systematic longitudinal data, the inclusion of both consumer and producer perspectives in the analysis, and engagement with scholarly debates outside animal studies.

非人类动物在芬兰社会中的地位变化：一个视觉描述

邮票图像揭示了人类如何看待社会中的其他动物;这种关系是如何随时间变化的;尤其是在政治、经济和文化背景下;以及发行邮票的国家希望向其公民传达的信息。对这些被忽视的、容易获取的视觉数据进行定性的混合方法探索，确定了芬兰独立期间(1917-2016)芬兰社会中人与动物关系的趋势和代表性例子。实证讨论加强了对动物实验中视觉文化和数据的方法(逻辑)讨论。研究显示了系统的纵向数据的价值，在分析中包含了消费者和生产者的观点，并参与了动物研究之外的学术辩论。

期刊介绍： Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism). The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
