Congress “Four-Footed actors: Lived Animals on the Stage”
Universidad de Valencia, December 2012
The aim of this congress was to analyze the function of the living animal on the stage, from the early modern age to the present day, taking as a starting point the study of textual or visual aspects of representations starring animals; animal scenic typologies; the hybridization of theater and circus, zoo or cinema; or the semiotic transfer of the function of the animal from the text to the stage.
Congress “Minding Animals Pre-Conference, Animals and the law”
Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, October 2011
The aim of this scientific meeting was to focus our interest in the legal treatment that animals receive in the two major legal systems: Common Law and Civil Law, trying to establish a balance between the problems that arise and the answers that have been given now, in this emerging field. Papers were presented on "The new regulation of equine farms and animal welfare" and "Animal welfare and the design of zoological facilities: do naturalized facilities really provide a suitable environment for animals in zoos?"
