Flush : Woman and Companion Animal’s “Significant Otherness”

This paper focuses on what political and ethical issues Virginia Woolf and Donna Haraway raise with significant otherness in Flush and The Companion Species Manifesto: Dogs, People, and Significant Otherness. At first, this paper examines what social and political positions woman and nonhuman protagonists as companion species share in British Victorian society analyzing the intimate relationship between Elizabeth Barrett Browning, a middle class invalid and her dog, pure bred Coker Spaniel in Woolf’s Flush. Secondly, this paper investigates the distinctions between Flush as the anthropomorphized dog in Woolf’s modernist narrative and the dog as a companion species that Haraway insists on. Lastly this paper aims at appreciating the significance of Woolf’s Flush in solving serious problems from Cartesian dualism and reconsidering women and animal rights.
