Ayten Alkan’s research revisits the history of urbanization on the tracks of ever-changing human-nonhuman relations. It does so through a theoretical quest to incorporate the mentality of “Animal Rights” into the “Right to the City” debate. Her aim is to comprehend the city and urban life so as to include “other animals,” by focusing on the particular case of “stray animals.”
