From Animal Mythologies to an Antibiologistic Animal Sociology.

This is an antibiologistic, nonhuman associational, species-subjectivist project that applies > subjective activism.

The project works as an online-publication by the Edition Farangis, founded by Farangis G. Yegane.

What's the title of this project all about?

Simorgh is a mythical bird, a mythical animal like we find so enormously many in probably every human culture/civilization. The common interpretation of mythical animals goes often into the direction of totemism, metaphorism, and symbolism, etc. If we take a new look at history, from an Animal Rights angle, we can come to different definitions of that what those animal myths probably contained in terms of ethical standpoints towards nonhuman animals.

Such a different look will take us into deeper layers of folk tales and oral traditions, and foremostly it will take us deeper into the morals thereof. These type of materials are definitely not the easiest to untangle, but some 'golden threads' within moral cultural constructs do help.

We picked the bird Simorgh as our basically "random choice" for taking a representative for all such mythical embodiments of nonhumans in secular historical folklore. You'll find some background about the bird in much of our web contents. Our approach to the mythical bird Simorgh does not have a lot in common with the common, popular images of that bird as a figure torn from the substantiality of mythology, that usially fit animality into typical hegemonic anthropocentric perceptions of the nonhuman world.

Here is a short intro about Animal Portrayals in mythology.
