‘Perfectly imperfect’: The ugly-cute pet influencer as a digital version of the Victorian freak show
‘An Austrian Fate’: Trauma, Repression and War in Adrian Goiginger's Der Fuchs (2022)
This article examines one of the highest‐grossing films in recent years in Austria, Der Fuchs (Adrian Goiginger, 2022), which focuses on the friendship of the protagonist, a Wehrmacht soldier, with an abandoned fox cub, but in the process elides more than four years of the soldier's wartime experience. The film narrative is based on the true story of the director's great‐grandfather, which has subsequently also been published as a biography by th…
The Beauty of Anarchy: Murmurations as a Collective Response to Uncertainty
The paper explores murmurations formed by European starlings ( Sturnus vulgaris ) from the perspective of Peter Kropotkin's concept of mutual aid. Given that there is no consensus on why exactly starlings murmurate, the paper focuses on how they do it. Exploring fundamental principles shaping starlings' collective agency – synchronicity, regularity, horizontality, fairness and numerosity – the paper speculates on what these species can teach us a…
Cute aesthetics of fear: A critique of Korean neo-liberalism in The School Nurse Files

In Korean popular culture, schools often serve as sites for brutal narratives such as zombie apocalypse, violent bullying or serial murder. In The School Nurse Files , this landscape is utilized for a story resembling Pac-Man, a 1980 maze action video game with cute octopus-shaped ghosts and an invigorating m…

Pets of Precarity: The Agency of Excessively Cutified Companion Animals
Validated by neoliberal cultures primarily as affective laborers whose purpose is to evoke sentiment and commitment, companion species became subject to cuteness engineering. This process involves altering the biological makeup and behavioral traits of animals toward exaggerated infantilism to enable specific emotional experiences for humans. Within the framework of postmodern critical theory and cuteness studies, this research explores miniaturi…
Forum 62: Humans and Other Species
Studies of more-than-human sociality in general, and multispecies ethnography in particular, are becoming an increasingly popular trend in global (social, human, and transdisciplinary) scholarship. In the current forum, researchers from various disciplines discuss the advantages, limitations, and challenges of this trend. They also share their thoughts on why multispecies research has (or has not) an appeal in Russian academia and what the future…
“Unsere mutigen Feiglinge”: Remembrance of Austrian Wehrmacht Deserters in Hanna Sukare’s Schwedenreiter
Sukare (1957-), focuses on the eponymous grandson of a Wehrmacht deserter, and his quest for his grandfather's story to be rehabilitated in the village from where he originated. The narrator's attempts to counter the falsification of his grandfather's and great-grandmother's history, who were persecuted at the hands of the Nazi regime, come in the wake of the rehabilitation of Wehrmacht deserters in Austria at the national level in 2009, which is…

Melancholy, Topography and the Search for Origin in Ingeborg Bachmann's Drei Wege Zum See
Bachmann's Drei Wege zum See is a text insistently preoccupied with questions of identity, origin and origination. Operating along a topographical structure that both frames and drives the narrative, its concern is a walking through personal and collective history in search of an elusive point of origin. This attempt is always necessarily melancholic, standing under the perennial threat of missed or failed homecomings. Using psychoanalytic concep…
