 (Brigham Young University)</p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong><br />This prese
 ntation uses Spivak’s famous query to explore human-animal relations in thr
 ee ways.  First\, from an epistemological perspective\, it considers why re
 searchers in the social sciences and the humanities have directed their att
 ention almost entirely to human affairs\, relegating the study of the non-h
 uman world to the natural sciences. Second\, it argues that two modern tech
 nologies—photography and taxidermy—allow some animals to “speak.” And third
 \, it highlights the tremendous transformation of certain dogs in the imper
 ial world from the nineteenth century to the present\, especially in Japan.
  To explore these three issues\, the talk focuses in on two moments of huma
 n-canine relations in Japan: the latter half of the nineteenth century when
  Japan was the object of Western imperialism\, and the 1930s when Japan bec
 ome a major imperial power in its own right.</p>
