We call it love. But what if our relationship with pets is, in reality, nothing but mutual domestication?
The techniques invented to control animals—confinement, castration, selection for docility, training—first served as a model for subjugating human beings. Refined by our societies, these methods then returned, softer and more sophisticated, to be applied to modern pets… and to ourselves.
Drawing on Foucault, the work of Yi-Fu Tuan, and his own clinical experience, Charles Danten shows that the phenomenon of the companion animal is far from marginal. Behind the endearing images lies a multi-billion-dollar industry built on affective need, willing blindness, and the systematic exploitation of both animals and their owners.
In the age of the cat, animals are no longer merely companions: they are mirrors. And what they reflect back to us is our own domesticated condition.
Sex, Pets and Rock’n’Roll is a sharp and unsettling essay that challenges one of our dearest illusions: that of an animal as happy as its owner.
