Cette publication réunit des études sur les thèmes croisés de l'animalité et de la vulnérabilité, examinés sous l'angle de l'ontologie et de l'éthique animales, de discours et de fictions littéraires évoquant des animaux. Si la vulnérabilité caractérise les animaux en général, comment la distinguer de celle du vivant ou de l'humain ? Qu'est-ce donc qu'une espèce vulnérable, qu'un animal vulnérable, à quoi l'est-il au juste, et dans quels contextes ? Cette vulnérabilité appelle-t-elle une réponse éthique ? Ces questions nécessitent des réponses multiples, pluralistes, qui puisent autant dans les domaines philosophiques, littéraires que scientifiques

The End of the World and Other Teachable Moments follows the remarkable itinerary of Jacques Derrida’s final seminar, “The Beast and the Sovereign” (2001–3), as the explicit themes of the seminar—namely, sovereignty and the question of the animal—come to be supplemented and interrupted by questions of death, mourning, survival, the archive, and, especially, the end of the world. The book begins with Derrida’s analyses, in the first year of the seminar, of the question of the animal in the context of his other published works on the same subject. It then follows Derrida through the second year of the seminar, presented in Paris from December 2002 to March 2003, as a very different tone begins to make itself heard, one that wavers between melancholy and an extraordinary lucidity with regard to the end. Focusing the entire year on just two works, Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and Martin Heidegger’s seminar of 1929–30, “The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics,” the seminar comes to be dominated by questions of the end of the world and of an originary violence that at once gives rise to and effaces all things. The End of the World and Other Teachable Moments follows Derrida as he responds from week to week to these emerging questions, as well as to important events unfolding around him, both world events—the aftermath of 9/11, the American invasion of Iraq—and more personal ones, from the death of Maurice Blanchot to intimations of his own death less than two years away. All this, the book concludes, makes this final seminar an absolutely unique work in Derrida’s corpus, one that both speaks of death as the end of the world and itself now testifies to that end—just one, though hardly the least, of its many teachable moments.

Today we urgently need to reevaluate the human place in the world in relation to other animals. This book puts Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy into dialogue with literature, evolutionary biology, and animal studies. In a radical departure from most critical animal studies, it argues for evolutionary continuity between human cultural and linguistic behaviors and the semiotic activities of other animals.In his late work, Derrida complained of philosophers who denied that animals possessed such faculties, but he never investigated the wealth of scientific studies of actual animal behavior. Most animal studies theorists still fail to do this. Yet more than fifty years ago, Merleau-Ponty carefully examined the philosophical consequences of scientific animal studies, with profound implications for human language and culture. For him, “animality is the logos of the sensible world: an incorporated meaning.” Human being is inseparable from animality.This book differs from other studies of Merleau-Ponty by emphasizing his lifelong attention to science. It shows how his attention to evolutionary biology and ethology anticipated recent studies of animal cognition, culture, and communication.

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 Lévinas, Derrida, Žižek, 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."

Indagare la dimensione dell’animalità nella storia degli studi teatrali implica la pluridisciplinarietà che è parte della nuova teatrologia, da sempre in dialogo con le scienze umane (antropologia, sociologia, semiotica) e con le neuroscienze. L’intento di questa raccolta di saggi è quello di iniziare a tracciare una storia del teatro come storia mista umana e non-umana – per la quale si rende necessario un dialogo con le scienze naturali, in particolar modo con l’etologia e con la zooantropologia, e di riattraversare in modo fruttuoso l’intera storia dei generi performativi, all’interno dei quali le performance interspecie si rivelano come una pratica originaria e costitutiva. In questo senso l’ottica sperimentale e multidisciplinare dei Critical Animal Studies risulta il terreno comune attraverso cui sono organizzati i contributi che compongono il volume e che spaziano dalla teoria della performance, all’etnoscenologia, dalla zooantropologia alla zoosemiotica, dalla filosofia all’etologia, senza tralasciare il punto di vista degli artisti della scena contemporanea.

Animal Narratology interrogates what it means to narrate, to speak—speak for, on behalf of—and to voice, or represent life beyond the human, which is in itself as different as insects, bears, and dogs are from each other, and yet more, as individual as a single mouse, horse, or puma. The varied contributions to this interdisciplinary Special Issue highlight assumptions about the human perception of, attitude toward, and responsibility for the animals that are read and written about, thus demonstrating that just as “the animal” does not exist, neither does “the human”. In their zoopoetic focus, the analyses are aware that animal narratology ultimately always contains an approximation of an animal perspective in human terms and terminology, yet they make clear that what matters is how the animal is approximated and that there is an effort to approach and encounter the non-human in the first place. Many of the analyses come to the conclusion that literary animals give readers the opportunity to expand their own points of view both on themselves and others by adopting another’s perspective to the degree that such an endeavor is possible. Ultimately, the contributions call for a recognition of the many spaces, moments, and modes in which human lives are entangled with those of animals—one of which is located within the creative bounds of storytelling.
