  • 1 Articulating Animal Rights
    1 Articulating Animal Rights: Activism, Networks and Anthropocentrism Eva Haifa Sarah Giraud Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 2 Abstract The thesis establishes a conversation between Donna Haraway and the work of contemporary UK animal rights groups, in order to develop their – respective – approaches to articulating animal rights issues. To analyse the tactics of these movements a conceptual framework is constructed through combining Haraway's insights with those of Bruno Latour, performative uses of actor- network theory and key concepts from Pierre Bourdieu (such as field, habitus and doxa). Through focusing on the tactics of UK animal rights groups the thesis works to recuperate certain of these practices from the criticisms Haraway levels at animal rights groups more broadly; illustrating contexts where these movements are departing from humanist rights-discourses and developing approaches more suited to the radical critique of anthropocentrism that is central to Haraway's own project. To develop a sense of the disparate approaches taken by these animal rights movements that complement Haraway's arguments, various online and offline tactics are analysed; drawing on a range of lobbying practices undertaken by movements involved in the vivisection debate (such as SPEAK and the BUAV), before focusing on more creative forms of vegan campaigning engaged in by local Nottingham groups (such as Veggies Catering Campaign and Nottingham Animal Rights). 3 Love and thanks to: Robin Shackford; for making me happy and centred, as well as hearing me repetitively go over my arguments.

  • Food in World History
    Food in World History Providing a comparative and comprehensive study of culinary cultures and consumption throughout the world, this book examines the globalization of food, illustrating how the diffusion of crops contributed to population growth and industrialization, and exploring the political, social and environmental implications of our changing relationship with food. Including numerous case studies from diverse societies and periods, Food in World History examines and focuses on: • the use of food as a tool of colonialism in Africa and Asia • the influence of the Italian and Chinese diasporas on US and Latin American food culture • how food was fractured along class lines in the French bourgeois restaurant culture and working-class cafés • the results of state intervention in food production and distribution • how the impact of genetic modification and food crises has affected the relationship between consumer and product. This concise and readable survey not only presents a simple history of food and its consumption, but also provides a unique examination of world history itself. Jeffrey M. Pilcher is Associate Professor of History at the University of Minnesota. Author of ¡Que vivan los tamales! Food and the Making of Mexican Identity (1998), he has also published essays in the American Historical Review, The Americas and Food, Culture and Society. Themes in World History Series editor: Peter N. Stearns The Themes in World History series offers focused treatment of a range of human experiences and institutions in the world history context. The purpose is to provide serious, if brief, discussions of important topics as additions to textbook coverage and document collections.

  • Framing PETA and Mcdonald's
    Qualitative Methods Kate Nattrass Final Group Project Tamara Garcia Sarah Jones Ike Sharpless December 18, 2008 Framing PETA and McDonald’s: Assessing the Causes of Industry-Driven Farm Animal Welfare Measures “I think it would be a great thing if, you know, all these fast food outlets and these slaughterhouses and these laboratories and the bans that fund them exploded tomorrow.” -Bruce Friedrich, (then) PETA dir. of vegan outreach (Specter 2002) "If you're not going to say nice things about them no matter what…corporations have no reason to ever change their practices." -Bruce Friedrich, (now) PETA Vice President, praising McDonald’s decision to phase out growth-promoting antibiotics in its beef supply (Sanchez 2003) Background. The new millennium has brought with it a sea of change in how activists and companies interact; whereas activist organizations previously sought to influence corporate behavior primarily through lobbying and boycotts, many activist organizations now choose to work with rather than against the companies of which they are critical. (Browne and Schweikhard 2001) This trend is most pronounced in the formation of alliances between environmental groups and corporations, 1 (Economist 2008) but a comparable relationship may be emerging between animal activists and the giants of food retailing. Using a two year-long exchange between PETA and McDonald’s over farm animal welfare standards as a policy template, this paper examines two aspects of the role of stakeholder motivation in causing industry-driven change: assessing whether animal advocacy groups are pursuing this trend towards collaboration, and identifying the primary causal drivers of McDonald’s improved hen welfare standards.
