Abstract: Critical Animal Studies (CAS) is a recent advance in the field of Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies. It is a revision of Animal Studies that focuses on the question of animality, animalization, and representation of animals in literature and culture. Critical Animal Studies draw upon multidisciplinary research to generate new ways of thinking about animals and human-animal relationships. One of the focal areas of CAS is the ethical reflection on the relationship between human beings and animals. This discipline also reflects on transspecies intersectionality, animal identities, animal subjectivity, deconstruction of the human-animal binary, radical politics promoting animal liberation, and construction of dialogues with various academic groups. This paper explains how Critical Animal Studies provide a new approach to reading literary texts by focusing on the structural, institutional, and discursive aspects of power that affect animals. It also focuses on various aspects of animal-centred reading that touches upon fauna criticism, representation of animals, intersectional social justice, animal standpoint, and the principle of total liberation. This paper also analyses Yann Martel’s Life of Pi in the light of Critical Animal Studies to highlight the recent advances in Humanities.
