Animal Rites : American Culture, the Discourse of Species, and Posthumanist Theory
by Cary Wolfe and W. J. T. Mitchell
Overview
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 Levinas, Derrida, Zižek, 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."
