Animal Rites: American Culture, the Discourse of Species, and Posthumanist Theory Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition
by Cary Wolfe; Foreword by W. J. Mitchell
First line
Early in The New Ecological Order, French philosopher Luc Ferry characterizes the allure and the danger of ecology in the post-modern moment.
From the rear cover
In 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 Lvinas, Derrida, Zizek, 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."
