Feminist Animal Studies: Theories, Practices, Politics
Editat de Erika Cudworth, Ruth E. McKie, Di Turgooseen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 2022
The collection demonstrates the continued vital importance of feminism – conceptually and theoretically, methodologically and politically – to the development of animal studies. Feminism has made an incisive critique of the ways in which gender and other intersecting differences and inequalities are constitutive of our destructive, exploitative and often violent relationships with nonhuman worlds. An international group of scholars and activists showcase new work, revisiting and extending established debates while negotiating new paths. Amongst the issues addressed in this collection will be questions of animal being and animal rights, caring relations, the relationships between activism and theory, interspecies sexual violence, tension in the animal defence movement around body politics, gender politics and professionalisation, different spaces of gender and animal relations from social media to sexology, safe spaces and sanctuaries, spaces of home – both in times of ‘business-as-usual’ and in times of lockdown.
This multidisciplinary volume will be essential reading to students and academics working in the fields of cultural studies, criminology, geography, history, law, philosophy, politics and sociology, with interest in gender, environmentalism and animal studies.
The editors work in the School of Applied Social Sciences at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, and share interests in gender and species violence, environmental harms, social justice matters and intersected inequalities.

Recenzii
"This is a brilliant, cutting-edge collection of writing by established and emerging Feminist voices. Working from the intersections of scholarship and activism and from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, the authors examine the shared roots of exploitation and violence against non-human animals and (human) social inequality and illuminate alternative ways of being and structuring relationships that are rooted in recognition and care. Highly readable and accessible, this timely book is an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses and will be an indispensable resource for scholars working in Critical Animal Studies, Feminist Animal Studies, and related fields."
Andrea Breen, University of Guelph
"This is a vital collection which brings home just how significant feminist work, feminist passion and insight, has been and is to the field of Animal Studies. It outlines how feminist debates about care and non-hierarchical species differences have shaped an alternative vision of political progress for centuries, with feminist work relentlessly differentiating itself from universalising, anthropocentric abstractions. With a mix of established and new writers, the book is wide ranging in approaches and topics, from sexology to legal rights, vegan frictions to social media and sanctuaries, the collection traces the influences of "FAS", establishing its distinctiveness and priorities, both urgent and emerging."
Fiona Probyn-Rapsey, University of Wollongong
"This is a collection of trailblazing scholarship from writers in fields representing the rich and multidisciplinary character of contemporary feminist animal studies. Taken together the collection positions the field of feminist animal studies with both its own distinct scholarly identity and with a clear and pressing relevance and heritage within connate fields including mainstream and critical animal studies, ecofeminism as well as the breadth of disciplines now attending to the animal turn. Similarly, the collection is as rich in its historical pedigree as its contemporary relevance in a post covid world ready to specify and confront new and emerging challenges of scholarship and advocacy."
