  • Animals and the Frontiers of Citizenship
    Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, Vol. 34, No. 2 (2014), pp. 201–219 doi:10.1093/ojls/gqu001 Published Advance Access February 5, 2014 Animals and the Frontiers of Citizenship Will Kymlicka* and Sue Donaldson** Abstract —Citizenship has been at the core of struggles by historically excluded Downloaded from groups for respect and inclusion. Can citizenship be extended even further to domesticated animals? We begin this article by sketching an argument for why justice requires the extension of citizenship to domesticated animals, above and beyond compassionate care, stewardship or universal basic rights. We then consider two objections to this argument. Some animal rights theorists worry that extending citizenship to domesticated animals, while it may sound progressive, would in fact http://ojls.oxfordjournals.org/ be bad for animals, providing yet another basis for policing their behaviour to fit human needs and interests. Critics of animal rights, on the other hand, worry that the inclusion of ‘unruly’ beasts would be bad for democracy, eroding its core values and principles. We attempt to show that both objections are misplaced, and that animal citizenship would both promote justice for animals and deepen fundamental democratic dispositions and values. Keywords: citizenship, animal rights, justice, co-operation at Queen's University on June 23, 2014 1. Introduction In our recent book Zoopolis, we made the case for a distinctly ‘political theory of animal rights’.1 In this Lecture, we attempt to extend that argument, and to respond to some critics of it, by focusing specifically on the novel idea of ‘animal citizenship’. To begin, let us briefly situate our approach in the larger animal rights debate.

    Ethopower & Ethography The History, Philosophy and Future of Ethology, IV Curtin University, St Georges Terrace, Perth 14th – 16th November, 2019 featuring Brett Buchanan Jean Langford and Cary Wolfe Convened by Matthew Chrulew Centre for Culture and Technology School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry The environments, which are as diverse as the animals themselves, offer every nature lover new lands of such richness and beauty that a stroll through them will surely be rewarding, even though they are revealed only to our mind’s eye and not to our body’s. – Uexküll By capturing it we utterly destroy the animal’s previous world, and put it into a different environment. The animal must construct an entirely fresh subjective world. This means an enormous task, and it is easy to understand that every individual cannot tackle it successfully. – Hediger Cover image from Heini Hediger, Man and Animal in the Zoo (1969), fig. 181. ~ 1 ~ Ethopower & Ethography Animals are today not only managed as bodies, populations and species; they are also known, controlled, and cared for as individual beings capable of a certain, though circumscribed, degree of behavioural agency. In ethology and related sciences, “behaviour” has become an object of knowledge, power and intervention through which animal activity is delimited and controlled. In this ethopolitical domain, the bodies and souls of wildlife, domesticated beasts and all those in between are subjected to a barrage of specialised techniques, both reductive and productive, mechanising and subjectifying. From laboratory experiments to zoo and circus performances to conservation interventions, epistemological and managerial practices often stage and elicit the reactivity and reflexivity of animal behaviour in contrast to responsive human conduct.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dalhousie Law Journal by an authorized editor of Schulich Law Scholars. For more information, please contact [email protected]. John Enman-Beech* Connexion: A Note on Praxis for Animal Advocates Effective animal advocacy requires human-animal connexion. I apply a relational approach to unfold this insight into a praxis for animal advocates. Connexion grounds the affective relationships that so often motivate animal advocates. More importantly, it enables animal agency, the ability of animals to act and communicate in ways humans can experience and respond to. With connexion in mind, some weaknesses of previous reform efforts become apparent. I join these in the slogan "abolitionismas disconnexion." In so far as abolitionism draws humans and animals apart, it undermines the movement's social basis, limits its imaginative resources, and deprives animals of a deeper freedom. I evaluate political theories of animals and find that only some can frame a picture of humans and animals living together in connexion. I close by noting the limitations of the connexion lens-we cannot simply create connexions without also evaluating whether they are oppressive-and some practical policy measures that can be taken today to further the goods of connexion Pour 6tre efficace, /a defense des animaux exige une connexion entre /'homme et /'animal.

  • Animal Citizenship, Phenomenology, and Ontology: Some Reflections on Donaldson’S & Kymlicka’S Zoopolis
    Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics 2017; 8(1): 21-32 Original Article Animal Citizenship, Phenomenology, and Ontology: Some reflections on Donaldson’s & Kymlicka’s Zoopolis Iván Ortega Rodríguez Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Madrid, Spain Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: This paper is a dialogue with Sue Donaldson’s and Will Kymlicka’s book Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights. My thesis is that, despite the authors’ reticence, considerations in first philosophy regarding humans and nonhumans are relevant to their goal of building a more comprehensive animal rights philosophy. What is more, I believe that first philosophy actually can be of help for their proposal, specifically in the form of phenomenology and phenomenological ontology. For this purpose, I first summarize the basic outline of Zoopolis’s position and indicate some questions that arise from a strictly internal consideration of its theses. And secondly, I introduce some aspects in which phenomenological research would be relevant, along with some particular and provisional analyses carried out from the standpoint of a phenomenologically-based ontology. Especially, there is a theme that stands out: the intersubjective realms between humans and nonhumans. Key Words: Animal Rights, Animal Philosophy, Phenomenology, ontology Bioethics, Ecology. Introduction: Animal philosophy received a decisive impulse with Sue Donaldson’s and Will Kymlicka’s book Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights 1 . It offered a comprehensive theory that, to a great extent, creates a new theoretical framework for thinking the moral status of nonhuman animals. In fact, it is not an understatement to say that Zoopolis is already a reference so unavoidable as Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation.

  • Roundtable on Animal Labour
    Roundtable on Animal Labour A N I M A L L A B O U R I N A M U L T I S P E C I E S S O C I E T Y : A S O C I A L J U S T I C E I S S U E ? ANIMAL LABOUR IN A MULTISPECIES SOCIETY: A SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUE? May 1st is traditionally a day of remembrance for labour-related struggles. This year, we would like to take this opportunity to reflect on the work of animals and overcome the assumption that labour is a uniquely human affair. From foraging bees to police dogs to equine therapists, the contributions of animals through their labour to the life, wealth, and welfare of the multispecies society are manifold. The objective of this roundtable is to generate a meaningful discussion among the speakers to increase the visibility of the multi-sectoral implications of animal labour and encourage further research on this topic and its inclusion in the law. In particular, we aim to draw attention to the condition of domestic animals working in the human-animal society and the challenges posed by their legal, social and political status. Labour can be a genuine site of interspecies cooperation and flourishing, yet this can be a site of extreme instrumentalization and exploitation, too. We hope to highlight the convergence of human and animal interests in calling for the recognition of non-human animals as workers towards their better protection in the workplace. MAY 1ST, 2021, AT 7 PM (LONDON TIME) Five Animal Law and Animal Labour experts will be sharing their views on key issues, moderated by the Junior Fellows of the Think Tank on Animals & Biodiversity.

  • JAHR 4-2011.Indd
    JAHR Vol. 2 No. 4 2011 UDK 575.4:17.03 Conference paper Eve-Marie Engels* Th e importance of Charles Darwin‘s theory for Fritz Jahr‘s conception of bioethics "Man in his arrogance thinks himself a great work. worthy the interposition of a deity, more humble & I believe true to consider him created from animals."** Charles Darwin, 1838 ABSTRACT Fritz Jahr is a pioneer of bioethics. In this article I will present and outline Jahr’s bioethical programme with a special emphasis on Charles Darwin’s role in Jahr’s ethics. According to Jahr, useful and effi cient animal protection can only be practised well if we have enough knowledge of nature. Jahr refers to Darwin who revolutionised our view of life and of the relationship between the human being and the rest of living nature. In the fi rst introductory section I will shortly present Jahr’s overall perspective and his bioethical imperative. I will also give a very short sketch of today’s bioethics. In the second and third section I will outline Dar- win’s revolutionary theory and its application to the human being. I will also present some of the reactions of his contemporaries which refl ect Darwin’s achievement for our understanding of living nature. In the fourth section I will go back to Fritz Jahr and will present and discuss diff erent aspects of his approach in more detail. A fi nal quotation from Hans Jonas about the dialectical character of Darwinism will trenchantly highlight Darwin’s importance for Fritz Jahr’s ethics.

  • The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series
    The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series editors: Andrew Linzey and Priscilla Cohn Associate editor: Clair Linzey In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed, from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. This series explores the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifically, the series will ● provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals, ● publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars, and ● produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in char- acter or have multidisciplinary relevance. Titles include Elisa Aaltola ANIMAL SUFFERING: PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE Aysha Akhtar ANIMALS AND PUBLIC HEALTH Why Treating Animals Better Is Critical to Human Welfare Alasdair Cochrane AN INTRODUCTION TO ANIMALS AND POLITICAL THEORY Eleonora Gullone ANIMAL CRUELTY, ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, AND HUMAN AGGRESSION More than a Link Alastair Harden ANIMALS IN THE CLASSICAL WORLD Ethical Perspectives from Greek and Roman Texts Lisa Johnson POWER, KNOWLEDGE, ANIMALS Andrew Knight THE COSTS AND BENEFITS OF ANIMAL EXPERIMENTS Randy Malamud AN INTRODUCTION TO ANIMALS IN VISUAL CULTURE Ryan Patrick McLaughlin CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY AND

  • Biopolitics and Becoming in Animal-Technology Assemblages Richie Nimmo University of Manchester
    HoST - Journal of History of Science and Technology Vol. 13, no. 2, December 2019, pp. 118-136 10.2478/host-2019-0015 SPECIAL ISSUE ANIMALS, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: MULTISPECIES HISTORIES OF SCIENTIFIC AND SOCIOTECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE-PRACTICES Biopolitics and Becoming in Animal-Technology Assemblages Richie Nimmo University of Manchester [email protected] Abstract: This article critically explores Foucauldian approaches to the human-animal-technology nexus central to modern industrialised agriculture, in particular those which draw upon Foucault’s conception of power as productive to posit the reconstitution of animal subjectivities in relation to changing agricultural technologies. This is situated in the context of key recent literature addressing animals and biopolitics, and worked through a historical case study of an emergent dairy technology. On this basis it is argued that such approaches contain important insights but also involve risks for the analyses of human-animal-technology relations, especially the risk of subsuming what is irreducible in animal subjectivity and agency under the shaping power of technologies conceived as disciplinary or biopolitical apparatuses. It is argued that this can be avoided by bringing biopolitical analysis into dialogue with currents from actor-network theory in order to trace the formation of biopolitical collectives as heterogeneous assemblages. Drawing upon documentary archive sources, the article explores this by working these different framings of biopolitics through a historical case study of the development of the first mechanical milking machines for use on dairy farms.
