Postmodern Ethics, the Question of the Animal, and the Imperatives of Posthumanist Theory --$tNotes --$tIndex 330 $aIn 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, ?i?ek, 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." 606 $aAnimal rights$xPhilosophy 606 $aSpecies$xPhilosophy 606 $aHumanism 606 $aHuman-animal relationships in literature 606 $aHuman-animal relationships in motion pictures 610 $aanimal behavior, carnism, posthumanism, species, ethics, humanism, race, sexuality, animality, colonialism, philosophy, varela, maturana, zizek, derrida, levinas, lyotard, cavell, wittgenstein, ecology, rights, language, sacrifice, psychology, gender, hemingway, congo, silence of the lambs, michael crichton, nonfiction, zoology, anthropocentrism, other. 615 0$aAnimal rights$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSpecies$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHumanism. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships in literature. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships in motion pictures. 676 $a179/.3 700 $aWolfe$b Cary$0608220 701 $aMitchell$b W.
