城市發展，改變了動物與自然生態，令本來四海為家的動物變成隱於都市背後，偶然在鬧市現身都被指「入侵」社區、「騷擾」市民……其實無論街貓街狗、野豬黃牛、甚至飛鳥蝠鼠，本來就在大地棲息，人類才是進佔牠們生存空間的入侵者。
本講座正是以我們週遭的動物為題，分享面對「社區動物」的理智與感情種種的人為矛盾與政策問題。但透過認知動物，甚至參照外地面對社區動物的做法，尋求與牠們共融生活的可能性認然存在。

陳嘉銘簡介
文化研究博士畢業，專事電影和流行文化研究；過去十多年來更因為與狗狗女兒的感情交流，觸發研究動物議題，當中涉及日常生活、媒介現象以及城市發展對動物的種種影響。2015年在香港中文大學文化及宗教研究系，以「動物，文化與現代社會」獨立成科，是首度在香港大專教育出現，利用人文學科及社會科學角度教授的動物科目，與同學分享更多關愛物種的可能性。最新著作《寫在牠們滅絕之前——香港動物文化誌》結集過去動物議題的文章，內容牽涉動保論述、城市發展、野外生態、電影和飲食想像種種問題。

謝曉陽簡介
大學講師。法國巴黎第八大學哲學系博士。今年與多位關注動物生存的朋友合著《「牠」者再定義: 人與動物關係的轉變》。長期撰寫動物文章，散見於香港《明報》、《信報》及澳門《新生代》。相信跨越不同學科、社會位置及歷史維度，可更能理解動物和人關係之演變。


Urban Development changes nature and ecology. Animals living spaces are then forced to hide behind city, and their “accidental appearances” in the city are always said to be a kind of “intrusion” into human living. However, to the contrary, it is human dominating the nature and being the intruders to animals’ life with modern urban development.
The talk is about how “community animals” survive in the name of the contradiction of human attitude and policy concern. And there are in fact possibilities of having a communal living between human and animals with a revising idea of ecology especially in the dominating logic of urban development.
