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 rites4363064UNINA
