Derogatory Discourses of Veganism and the Reproduction of Speciesism in UK 1 National Newspapers Bjos 1348 134..152
The British Journal of Sociology 2011 Volume 62 Issue 1 Vegaphobia: derogatory discourses of veganism and the reproduction of speciesism in UK 1 national newspapers bjos_1348 134..152 Matthew Cole and Karen Morgan Abstract This paper critically examines discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers in 2007. In setting parameters for what can and cannot easily be discussed, domi- nant discourses also help frame understanding. Discourses relating to veganism are therefore presented as contravening commonsense, because they fall outside readily understood meat-eating discourses. Newspapers tend to discredit veganism through ridicule, or as being difficult or impossible to maintain in practice. Vegans are variously stereotyped as ascetics, faddists, sentimentalists, or in some cases, hostile extremists. The overall effect is of a derogatory portrayal of vegans and veganism that we interpret as ‘vegaphobia’. We interpret derogatory discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers as evidence of the cultural reproduction of speciesism, through which veganism is dissociated from its connection with debates concerning nonhuman animals’ rights or liberation. This is problematic in three, interrelated, respects. First, it empirically misrepresents the experience of veganism, and thereby marginalizes vegans. Second, it perpetuates a moral injury to omnivorous readers who are not presented with the opportunity to understand veganism and the challenge to speciesism that it contains. Third, and most seri- ously, it obscures and thereby reproduces -

Lay Persons and Community Values in Reviewing Animal Experimentation Jeff Lesliet Is it morally acceptable to use animals in scientific experi- ments that will not benefit those animals, but instead solely benefit people? Most people would say yes; but at the same time most would view the use of animals as a regrettable necessity, to be pursued only when the benefits to people outweigh the harm to the animals, and only after everything possible is done to minimize that harm. Identifying benefits and harms may require specialized scientific and technological understanding, to be sure, but evaluating the tradeoff between them requires not technical expertise, but rather the capacity to make difficult moral judg- ments. We do not usually think of moral judgments as the unique terrain of any particular set of professionals or experts. Anyone capable of ethical reasoning has an equal claim to exper- tise, and a pluralistic society can be expected to exhibit a wide range of moral beliefs. -
Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer. -
Jm Coetzee and Animal Rights
J.M. COETZEE AND ANIMAL RIGHTS: ELIZABETH COSTELLO’S CHALLENGE TO PHILOSOPHY Richard Alan Northover SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ENGLISH LITERATURE IN THE FACULTY OF HUMANITIES UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA PRETORIA, 0002, SOUTH AFRICA Supervisor: Professor David Medalie OCTOBER 2009 © University of Pretoria Abstract The thesis relates Coetzee’s focus on animals to his more familiar themes of the possibility of fiction as a vehicle for serious ethical issues, the interrogation of power and authority, a concern for the voiceless and the marginalised, a keen sense of justice and the question of secular salvation. The concepts developed in substantial analyses of The Lives of Animals and Disgrace are thereafter applied to several other works of Coetzee. The thesis attempts to position J.M. Coetzee within the animal rights debate and to assess his use of his problematic persona, Elizabeth Costello, who controversially uses reason to attack the rationalism of the Western philosophical tradition and who espouses the sympathetic imagination as a means of developing respect for animals. Costello’s challenge to the philosophers is problematised by being traced back to Plato’s original formulation of the opposition between philosophers and poets. It is argued that Costello represents a fallible Socratic figure who critiques not reason per se but an unqualified rationalism. This characterisation of Costello explains her preoccupation with raising the ethical awareness of her audience, as midwife to the birth of ideas, and perceptions of her as a wise fool, a characterisation that is confirmed by the use of Bakhtin’s notion of the Socratic dialogue as one of the precursors of the modern novel. -

Science, Sentience, and Animal Welfare Robert C. Jones California State University, Chico KEYWORDS animal, welfare, ethics, pain, sentience, cognition, agriculture, speciesism, biomedical research ABSTRACT I sketch briefly some of the more influential theories concerned with the moral status of nonhuman animals, highlighting their biological/physiological aspects. I then survey the most prominent empirical research on the physiological and cognitive capacities of nonhuman animals, focusing primarily on sentience, but looking also at a few other morally relevant capacities such as self-awareness, memory, and mindreading. Lastly, I discuss two examples of current animal welfare policy, namely, animals used in industrialized food production and in scientific research. I argue that even the most progressive current welfare policies lag behind, are ignorant of, or arbitrarily disregard the science on sentience and cognition. Introduction The contemporary connection between research on animal1 cognition and the moral status of animals goes back almost 40 years to the publication of two influential books: Donald Griffin’s The Question of Animal Awareness: Evolutionary Continuity of Mental Experience (1976) and Peter Singer’s groundbreaking Animal Liberation (1975). -

DISSERTATION EXPLORING ANIMAL WELFARE THROUGH AN INVESTIGATION OF VETERINARY EDUCATION AND ON-FARM ASSESSMENTS OF DAIRY CALF WELFARE Submitted by Chelsey B. Shivley Department of Animal Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Temple Grandin Franklyn B. Garry Terry E. Engle Bernard E. Rollin Martha L. Kesel Copyright by Chelsey B. Shivley 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT EXPLORING ANIMAL WELFARE THROUGH AN INVESTIGATION OF VETERINARY EDUCATION AND ON-FARM ASSESSMENTS OF DAIRY CALF WELFARE Animal welfare encompasses many different areas, including science, ethics, economics and law. Veterinarians have an opportunity to serve as leaders in the field of animal welfare due to their interaction with all aspects of animal use. In order to do so, they must be properly trained, and veterinary curricula were evaluated for courses related to animal welfare, ethics, and behavior. Consumers are concerned with how animals are managed, and aspects of welfare of preweaned dairy calves, including colostrum quality, passive transfer status, average daily gain, and bull calf management, were evaluated. The objective of the first study presented in Chapter III was to explore the extent to which veterinary colleges and schools accredited by the AVMA Council on Education (COE) have incorporated specific courses related to animal welfare, behavior, and ethics. The design included a survey and curriculum review. The sample included all 49 AVMA COE–accredited veterinary colleges and schools (institutions). The study consisted of 2 parts. In part 1, a survey regarding animal welfare, behavior, and ethics was e-mailed to the associate dean of academic affairs at all 49 AVMA COE–accredited institutions. -

Vegaphobia – Matthew Cole Karen Morgan ((Bjs) 2011
Dal British Journal of Sociology 62(1) VEGAPHOBIA – MATTHEW COLE e KAREN MORGAN (BJS) 2011 Vol. 62 – numero 1 Traduzione dall’inglese a cura di it.vegephobia.info (Link all’articolo originale) VEGAFOBIA: DISCORSI DISPREGIATIVI SUL VEGANISMO E LA RAPPRESENTAZIONE DELLO SPECISMO NEI QUOTIDIANI BRITANNICI ABSTRACT Questo articolo esamina criticamente la presenza di discorsi sul veganismo nella stampa britannica dell’anno 2007. Nel momento stesso in cui stabiliscono i parametri relativi a ciò di cui si può o non si può discutere, i discorsi dominanti contribuiscono alla comprensione del fenomeno. I discorsi che riguardano il veganismo sono presentati come in opposizione al buon senso, poiché non rientrano nel discorso largamente condiviso del cibarsi di carne. La stampa ha una tendenza a porre in cattiva luce il veganismo ridicolizzandolo o rappresentandolo come una pratica difficile se non impossibile da seguire. I vegani sono rappresentati in vari stereotipi: asceti, modaioli, sentimentali o, in alcuni casi, come ostili estremisti. L’effetto globale è quello di un ritratto spregiativo dei vegan e del veganismo che noi qui interpretiamo come “vegafobia”. Interpretiamo i discorsi dispregiativi del veganismo apparsi nella stampa quotidiana britannica come evidenza della riproduzione culturale dello specismo, attraverso cui il veganesimo viene dissociato dalla sua relazione con il dibattito sui diritti degli animali non umani o la loro liberazione. Ciò è 1 problematico rispetto a tre punti tra loro correlati, il primo dei quali è che dal punto di vista empirico l’esperienza vegan è rappresentata in modo scorretto e quindi marginalizza i vegani. Il secondo punto è che perpetua un danno morale ai lettori onnivori, a cui non è offerta l’opportunità di capire il veganismo e la sua carica antispecista. -
