Taking up the figure of silence as the space between human and animal, it traces the potential for an alternate political and ethical way of life beyond law. Employing the resources offered by deconstruction as well as an ontological critique of biopower, this book suggests that humAnimal, as the site of impropriety opened by racism and manifested by silence, can be political and hazardous to power.Posthumanities ;21.Philosophical anthropologySilence (Philosophy)Feral childrenPhilosophical anthropology.Silence (Philosophy)Feral children.128Seshadri Kalpana912072MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827915303321HumAnimal4014189UNINA
