Abstract
On various levels, zoosemiotics is encyclopedic in its form, but not systematically so in its content. More often than not, it is highly informative. The broad project of the book, however, is undermined by a poor selection of references to zoosemioticians and an apparent bias for anthropoid animals. Nevertheless, Dario Martinelli's academic spotlight on humananimal relations, including their ethical aspects, deserves attention. Close to fifty years after its explicit conception, zoosemiotics remains a promising, rather than accomplished field of scholarly discourse.
Keywords:: aesthetics; animal signification; anthropocentrism; humananimal relations; zoosemiotics; Thomas Sebeok
