While the \"question of the animal\" ricochets across the academy and reverberates within the public sphere, \u003ci\u003eAnimal Subjects 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e builds on the previous book and takes stock of this explosive turn. It focuses on both critical animal studies and posthumanism, two intertwining conversations that ask us to reconsider common sense understandings of other animals and what it means to be human. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection demonstrates that many pressing contemporary social problems--how and why the oppression and exploitation of our species persist--are entangled with our treatment of other animals and the environment. Decades into the interrogation of our ethical and political responsibilities toward other animals, fissures within the academy deepen as the interest in animal ethics and politics proliferates. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough ideological fault lines have inspired important debates about how to address the very material concerns informing these theoretical discussions, \u003ci\u003eAnimal Subjects 2.0 \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together divergent voices to suggest how to foster richer human-animal relations, and to cultivate new ways of thinking and being with the rest of animalkind. This collection demonstrates that appreciation of difference, not just similarity, is necessary for a more inclusive and compassionate world. Linking issues of gender, disability, culture, race, and sexuality into species, \u003ci\u003eAnimal Subjects 2.0\u003c\/i\u003e maps vibrant developments in the emergent fields of critical animal studies and posthumanist thought. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jodey Castricano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771122102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771122108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Jodey Castricano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937938047231,"sku":"9781771122108","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5088bdcf-690e-4252-a60a-b535ec63ae9b.jpg?v=1681432783","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animal-subjects-20-jodey-castricano-9781771122108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
