The Socialist Animal. Effects of SED policies on human-animal-relations in the GDR (1949-1989)

鉴于人类与动物之间的各种关系是历史发展和社会文化形成的，在我的研究中，我调查了SED意识形态和政策对人类与非人类动物之间的关系，动物的社会表征和动物的生活条件的影响。我的重点是社会地理领域的宠物饲养和畜牧业以及动物保护的政策。

Seeing as the different kinds of relationships between human beings and animals have historically developed and are socio-culturally formed, in my research I have investigated the effects of SED ideology and policy on the relations between human and non-human animals, social representations of animals and the living conditions of animals. My focus is on the socio-geographical realms of pet keeping and animal husbandry as well as the policies of animal protection.
