Animals in contact
Content:
This book develops a theory of political animal voices in three steps. The first part focuses on language. Drawing from recent studies in biology and ethology, it challenges a view of language as exclusively human. It also investigates the relation between developing common languages and creating common interspecies worlds. The second part of this book focuses on interspecies politics; it challenges an anthropocentric demarcation of the political and develops an alternative, which takes into account non-human animal agency and interspecies political relations. The third and final part of the book draws on the insights about language and politics developed in the first two parts to investigate how existing political practices and institutions can be extended to incorporate non-human animal political voices, and to explore new ways of interacting with other animals politically.
