ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. This final part of author's inquiry echoes Zipes call for collapsing the borders between disciplines for a better understanding of the significance of children's literature and for tracing these motifs in the biological adjustments of human and nonhuman organisms to cultural variations. In contrast, the civilized paradigm, based on domestication, private property, and capitalist economy, is a perpetual system of sanctions against the dispossessed resources that locks them, their food, and space in social constructs of permanence. This concluding part of the book examines the doxic whisperers, the myths at the root of the narrative of civilization that inform the distinct cultural and anthropological materialization of its ontologies through science, mythology, and art and that legitimate the silencing of the voices of the billions of victims of the longest and most brutal of holocausts in the history of civilization.
