Animal Death: Animal Politics

Editat de Jay Johnston, Professor Fiona Probyn-Rapsey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2013
A danger for animal studies is that too heavy an emphasis on animal suffering and death risks catalysing further inertia: either by contributing to a sense of powerlessness, or by provoking others to rile against perceived opprobrium. From this perspective, Animal Death is a triumph. The chapters dealing with issues such as factory farming are unsparing, but equally argue that optimism is not impossible if such topics are broached with cultural and philosophical understanding.

Recenzii

"This collection is a worthwhile read for those concerned about animal ethics. As Chloe Taylor writes, "how we treat the dead has direct implications for how we treat the living"." -- Kelsi Nagy, Journal of Animal Ethics
"The inspiring and inclusive ways in which the book challenges readers are enhanced by the chapters dealing with animal death in less predictable settings, and by its artistically oriented interrogations ... no reader of the book need feel excluded from this at once descriptive and aspirational conception of life." -- Sam Cadman, Australian Book Review
