Animal Rights and Subjectivity in Wonderland: A Social Reform in Victorian Period

摘要


The understanding of animal rights and animal subjectivity deeply influenced the public along with national education in Victorian England, due to the liberalism, Locke's concept of animal husbandry and the advocacy of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. On the one hand, Carroll dispelled anthropocentrism through diet politics in Alice's dreamland, on the other hand, he constructed animal politics from non-cooperating to resisting aristocratic imperial power. However, "wonderland" is just an imagined land for social change because of Carroll’s conservative political stance and his fear of "irrationality" of the lower class (animals), which doomed this land to be just a dreamland.
