Cynanthropy (sometimes spelled kynanthropy; from Ancient Greek: κύων/kúōn, 'dog' + ἄνθρωπος/ánthrōpos, 'man; human') is, in psychiatry, the pathological delusion of real persons that they are dogs and in anthropology and folklore, the supposed magical practice of shape-shifting alternately between dog and human form, or the possession of combined canine and human anatomical features, a form of therianthropy.

  • Η κυνανθρωπία είναι, στην ιατρική, η παθολογική αυταπάτη των πραγματικών ατόμων ότι είναι σκύλοι, και στην ανθρωπολογία και τη λαογραφία, η υποτιθέμενη άσκηση μαγείας της αλλαγής μορφής μεταξύ σκυλίσιας και ανθρώπινης μορφής εναλλάξιμα, ή η κατοχή συνδυασμένων κυνοειδών και ανθρώπινων ανατομικών χαρακτηριστικών, μια μορφή της θηριανθρωπίας. Οι Έλληνες έχουν μιλήσει για την κυνανθρωπία. Ο όρος υπήρχε τουλάχιστον από το 1901, όταν είχε εφαρμοστεί στους μύθους από την Κίνα για ανθρώπους που μετατρέπονται σε σκύλους, σκύλους που μετατρέπονται σε ανθρώπους, και τις σεξουαλικές σχέσεις μεταξύ ανθρώπων και κυνοειδών (Ντε Γρόοτ [De Groot], 184). Μετά τη λυκανθρωπία, η κυνανθρωπία είναι ο πιο γνωστός όρος για μια συγκεκριμένη ποικιλία της θηριανθρωπίας. Ο κυνάνθρωπος είναι επίσης γνωστός στο Τιμόρ. Περιγράφεται ως αλλάσσων μορφής ανθρώπου/σκύλου που είναι επίσης ικανός να μεταμορφώσει άλλους ανθρώπους σε ζώα παρά τη θέλησή τους. Σε αυτές τις μεταμορφώσεις γίνονται συνήθως θηράματα, όπως κατσίκες, έτσι ώστε ο κυνάνθρωπος να τους καταβροχθίζει χωρίς να ανακαλυφθεί το έγκλημα (Ρόουζ [Rose], 390). (el)
  • Cynanthropy (sometimes spelled kynanthropy; from Ancient Greek: κύων/kúōn, 'dog' + ἄνθρωπος/ánthrōpos, 'man; human') is, in psychiatry, the pathological delusion of real persons that they are dogs and in anthropology and folklore, the supposed magical practice of shape-shifting alternately between dog and human form, or the possession of combined canine and human anatomical features, a form of therianthropy. The Greeks spoke of cynanthropy (kyon, dog). The term existed by at least 1901, when it was applied to myths from China about humans turning into dogs, dogs becoming people, and sexual relations between humans and canines. After lycanthropy, cynanthropy is the best known term for a specific variety of therianthropy. Anthropologist David Gordon White called Central Asia the "vortex of cynanthropy" because races of dog-men were habitually placed there by ancient writers. Hindu mythology puts races of "Dog Cookers" to the far north of India, the Chinese placed the "Dog Jung" and other human/canine barbarians to the extreme west, and European legends frequently put the dog men called Cynocephali in unmapped regions to the east. Some of these races were described as humans with dog heads, others as canine shapeshifters. The weredog or cynanthrope is also known in Timor. It is described as a human/canine shapeshifter who is also capable of transforming other people into animals against their wills. These transformations are usually into prey animals such as goats, so that the cynanthrope can devour them without discovery of the crime. (en)
  • La cinantropia (dal greco κύων, κυνός, cyon, cynos, cane, ed άνθρωπος, ànthropos, uomo) è, in psichiatria, il delirio patologico per cui degli individui si credono cani,e in antropologia e nel folklore, la presunta pratica magica del cambiare forma tra quella umana e quella del cane, o il possesso di caratteristiche anatomiche sia umane che canine in una forma di teriomorfismo. Il termine inglese cynanthropy esiste almeno dal 1901, quando veniva applicato in riferimento a miti cinesi circa esseri umani che si trasformavano in cani, cani mutanti in esseri umani, e rapporti sessuali tra cani e esseri umani (De Groot, 184). Dopo la licantropia, la cinantropia è il termine più noto per una varietà specifica di teriomorfismo. L'antropologo David Gordon White chiama l'Asia Centrale come il "vortice della cinantropia" ("vortex of cynanthropy"), perché razze di uomini-cani venivano abitualmente messe lì da scrittori antichi. La mitologia indù piazza delle razze di "Cucinatori di cani" nell'estremo nord dell'India, i cinesi collocano il "Cane Jung " e altri barbari umano/canini all'estremo occidente, e le leggende europee spesso nominano l'esistenza di uomini cane chiamati cinocefali nelle regioni non mappate ad est. Alcune di queste razze sono state descritte come esseri umani con teste di cane, altre come mutaforma canini (White, 114-15). Il cane mannaro o cinantropo è conosciuto anche a Timor. Viene descritto come un mutaforma uomo/cane, che è capace anche di trasformare altre persone in animali contro la loro volontà. Queste trasformazioni sono di solito in animali da preda come capre, in modo che il cinantropo possa divorare le sue vittime senza che il crimine venga scoperto (Rose, 390). (it)
