"Depuis quelques années, les mobilisations pro-animaux suscitent une attention publique particulière : aux associations établies oeuvrant à la 'protection' des animaux s'ajoutent désormais des collectifs revendiquant plutôt leur 'libération'. Leur point commun: défendre les intérêts des animaux. Le lectorat francophone ne disposait pas encore de synthèse distanciée, faisant le point sur les propriétés sociales, politiques et morales de ces mouvements. Ce livre entend combler ce manque en présentant l'état des connaissances sur l'histoire et la structuration de la cause animale aujourd'hui. Cette mise en perspective remonte jusqu'au XIXe siècle. Les mobilisations contemporaines sont cartographiées. Les raisons de l'engagement pour les animaux et la variété de ses formes sont analysées, de même que les liens des mouvements avec d'autres mondes sociaux (les politiques publiques, les marchés, le monde académique). Cet ouvrage fournit ainsi des clés de compréhension sociologique sur la façon dont la défense des animaux transforme nos sociétés"--Page 4 of cover.

Who are the Great Apes? They are chimpanzees, gorillas, orang-utans, and, according to co-editors Paola Cavalieri and Peter Singer, and a distinguished group of international contributors, they are persons. Yes, persons, capable of reflections, emotions, joy, as well as, all too often, pain. On the other hand, as one of this book's contributors, Richard Dawkins, has written, while we admit that we are like apes, "we seldom realize that we are apes.". Beginning with the "Declaration on Great Apes," a scientific and moral call to arms modeled after the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, The Great Ape Project, both as a book and as a political manifesto, unequivocally states its primary goals: to ensure "The Right to Life," "The Protection of Individual Liberty," and "The Prohibition of Torture" to every nonhuman great ape. In fact, The Great Ape Project looks forward to a new stage in the development of the community of equals, whereby chimpanzees, gorillas, and orang-utans will actually receive many of the same protections and rights that are already accorded, although so often abrogated, to man. Thirty-four authors from nine different countries each write from the perspective of his or her own experience about the great apes. Richard Dawkins, author of The Selfish Gene, and Jared Diamond, author of The Third Chimpanzee, explain how closely related we are to the other apes, while anthropologists and a biologist question the divide we place between ourselves and the other great apes. Taken together, the contributions make a uniquely satisfying whole, blending observation and interpretation in a highly persuasive case for a complete reassessment of the moral status of our closest kin. The Great Ape Project is a book whose impassioned convictions will summon up the spectre of the Scopes Monkey Trial and will, once again, alter our own self-image as human beings. The authors include celebrated observers of free-living apes: Jane Goodall, Adriaan Kortlandt, and Toshisada Nishida (and a more unusual observer of our galaxy, Douglas Adams). Other scientists describe extraordinary conversations with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orang-utans, which have been carried out in sign language over dozens of years. With such assertions throughout, it is no wonder that The Great Ape Project has been embroiled in controversy even before its American publication.

Finalist of the 2016 National Indie Excellence Book Awards in the Social/Political Change Category! This award honors outstanding books from smaller or independent publishers that deserve recognition 'for going the extra mile to produce books of excellence in every aspect.' The book was originally published by Rodopi and acquired by Brill in January 2014. To what extent should animal rights activists promote animal rights when attempting to persuade meat-lovers to stop eating animals? Contributing to a classic social movement framing debate, Freeman examines the animal rights movement’s struggles over whether to construct farming campaign messages based more on utility (emphasizing animal welfare, reform and reduction, and human self-interest) or ideology (emphasizing animal rights and abolition). Freeman prioritizes the latter, “ideological authenticity,” to promote a needed transformation in worldviews and human animal identity, not just behaviors. This would mean framing “go veg” messages not only around compassion, but also around principles of ecology, liberty, and justice, convincing people “it’s not fair to farm anyone”. Through a unique frame analysis of vegan campaign materials (from websites, to videos, to bumper stickers) at five prominent U.S. animal rights organizations, and interviews with their leaders, including Ingrid Newkirk and Gene Baur, Freeman answers questions, such as: How is the movement defining core problems and solutions regarding animal farming and fishing? To which values are activists appealing? Why have movement leaders made these visual and rhetorical strategic choices – such as deciding between appealing to human self-interest, environmentalism, or altruism? To what extent is the animal rights movement actually challenging speciesist discrimination and the human/animal dualism? Appealing to both scholars and activists, Framing Farming distinctively offers practical strategic guidance while remaining grounded in animal ethics and communication theory. It not only describes what 21st century animal rights campaigns are communicating, it also prescribes recommendations for what they should communicate to remain culturally resonant while promoting needed long-term social transformation away from using animals as resources.
