Description
Typically, the legal investigation of nonhuman life, and of animal life in particular, is conducted through the discourse of animal rights.
Within this discourse, legal rights are extended to certain nonhuman animals through the same liberal framework that has afforded human rights before it.
Animals, Biopolitics, Law envisions the possibility of lively legalities that move beyond the humanist perspective.
Drawing on an array of expertise—from law, geography, and anthropology, through animal studies and posthumanism, to science and technology studies—this interdisciplinary collection asks what, in legal terms, it means to be human and nonhuman, what it means to govern and to be governed, and what are the ethical and political concerns that emerge in the project of governing not only human but also more-than-human life.
