Blurring interspecific boundaries: antropocentrismo e discorso controegemonico nelle vignette umoristiche di Charles Schultz, Gary Larson e Dan Piraro
According to the Western tradition, a “great divide” separates human beings from non-human animals.

| description | According to the Western tradition, a “great divide” separates human beings from non-human animals. Such a boundary underlies the anthropocentric interpretation of the world and the power system that ecofeminists call ‘anthroparchy’.

To test such a hypothesis, the article examines the work of three American cartoonists who, albeit with different techniques and strategies, open a crack in this direction: Charles M. Schulz (Peanuts), Gary Larson (The Far Side) and Dan Piraro (Bizarro).
