Sumario:From technological developments, climate change and the effects of globalization, the representation of the animal as the Other exhibits changes in relation to the modern conception of humanity. From that separation that accentuated the difference between human beings and animals –real or imaginary– we observe representations in some productions of contemporary art –we will take examples from narrative and theater– that propose mixtures, unions, and connections between species that, in turn, give rise to relocations and transformations that produce new meanings or else, generate reformulations with respect to the traditional ones. Dystopias, monstrous emergencies, irruption of the sinister, revision of taboos, are some of the axes that we recognize in a series of recent fictional productions, which allow us to postulate a paradigm shift that contains a disturbing vision of the present and even more, of the future.
