IF ONLY SOMEONE KNEW how much I hate writing abstracts. I want to write something like “well, open the article yourself, and read it! I can’t shorten all the words into two hundred.” On the other hand, sometimes I get angry that the abstract is poorly written, and I don’t understand whether to read the article or not. Anyway, there is a cartoon — but not for children — called BoJack Horseman. So, he’s a horse, but his problems are human — that’s the conflict of species in one person! And in this article I am trying, with the help of different theories, there’s Bourdieu, a little bit of biosemiotics, and some other, to understand if it is important that BoJack Horseman is a horse and that he’s an animal. And how this diversity of species in the cartoon affects the social organization of this animal society, and the plot in particular. You can read the conclusions in the end of this article, I’ve even got a bit sentimental in the end. Big up yourself.
