Abstract

The hen is an animal historically linked to human migration that has led to its expansion throughout the world and, as Darwin would point out, to the appearance of varieties adapted to different geographical locations. Its condition as a domestic fowl, has been decisive in the utilitarian relationship between humans and poultry, where the body of this animal is closely linked to its use for human consumption. For this reason the inclusion of the hen in art brings a certain significance to the works in which it appears, and is also why it is vital to consider a common historical, social and biological past. However, this foray into art poses a currently polarized dilemma: it makes considering the future of interspecies possible but at the same time, may perpetuate and reproduce mechanisms of oppression and violence towards other non-human animals.
