Postmodern Ethics, the Question of the Animal, and the Imperatives of Posthumanist Theory --Notes --IndexIn Animal Rites, Cary Wolfe examines contemporary notions of humanism and ethics by reconstructing a little known but crucial underground tradition of theorizing the animal from Wittgenstein, Cavell, and Lyotard to Lévinas, Derrida, Žižek, Maturana, and Varela. Through detailed readings of how discourses of race, sexuality, colonialism, and animality interact in twentieth-century American culture, Wolfe explores what it means, in theory and critical practice, to take seriously "the question of the animal."Animal rightsPhilosophySpeciesPhilosophyHumanismHuman-animal relationships in literatureHuman-animal relationships in motion picturesAnimal rightsPhilosophy.SpeciesPhilosophy.Humanism.Human-animal relationships in literature.Human-animal relationships in motion pictures.179/.3Wolfe Cary608220MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966700103321Animal rites4363064UNINA02676nam 22006014a 450 991021999070332120200520144314.00-8330-3407-3(CKB)111087028057490(EBL)202775(OCoLC)50615761(SSID)ssj0000131352(PQKBManifestationID)11134960(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000131352(PQKBWorkID)10017627(PQKB)11104373(MiAaPQ)EBC202775(Au-PeEL)EBL202775(CaPaEBR)ebr10056198(oapen)doab114531(EXLCZ)9911108702805749020020808d2002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrCountering al Qaeda an appreciation of the situation and suggestions for strategy /Brian Michael Jenkins1st ed.Santa Monica, CA RAND20021 online resource (43 p.)"MR-1620-RC."0-8330-3264-X Includes bibliographical references.PREFACE; CONTENTS; SUMMARY; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; Chapter One INTRODUCTION; Chapter Two UNDERSTANDING THE ENEMY; THE EMERGENCE OF AL QAEDA; PROCESS, PLANNING, AND MISSION; CHANGED PERCEPTIONS OF THE TERRORIST THREAT; THE AFTERMATH OF SEPTEMBER 11: AL QAEDA'S VIEW; SOME REALISTIC ASSUMPTIONS; Chapter Three STRATEGY FOR THE SECOND PHASE OF THE WAR ON TERRORISMHaving achieved its initial goals in the war on terrorism, the United States is now in a second, more complex phase of the campaign. This monograph reviews events since the attacks of September 11, 2001, and discusses the current state of the al Qaeda organization and the kinds of actions that can be expected of it in the foreseeable future. Because al Qaeda constitutes the most serious immediate threat to the security of the United States, it is imperative that the campaign against terrorism remain focused and pragmatic.
