Zgubne skutki wymuszanych relacji międzygatunkowych. Refleksje na marginesie książki Larsa Berge’a „Dobry wilk”
Pernicious Effects of Forced Inter-Species Relations. Notes on the Margin of Lars Berge’s Book „Project Wolf”

Summary/Abstract: Lars Berge’s novel Project: Wolf was inspired by tragic events that took place in a zoological garden in Sweden in 2012. Among the garden’s commercial services, promoting an attractive place to spend time, was a project that offered close contact with wolves: visitors were able to enter the wolves’ run, where they could touch the eight males under the supervision of caretakers. Successful for some time, the projected eventually ended in a tragedy as the wolves attacked and killed a female caretaker after she had entered the run alone. The incident raises a lot of ethical questions and issues concerning relationships between humans and nonhuman animals. The novel sets these problems in the wide context of the humanities and social sciences as defined by the ideas of Jean Baudrillard and Michel Foucault.
