Abstract

Doelstelling: Deze studie onderzoekt de manier waarop J.M. Coetzee en J.S. Foer het verschijnsel speciesisme blootleggen. Het behandelt de wijze waarop beide auteurs een protest formuleren tegen deze vorm van discriminatie, tegen de normen en gewoonten die speciesisme laten gedijen, en de praktijken die eruit ontstaan. Middelen of methode: Eerst worden gerelateerde thema's uit ondersteunende literatuur bestudeerd (de ethische basis voor dierenrechten, de raakvlakken met andere vormen van discriminatie). Die nieuwe inzichten zullen vervolgens bijdragen tot een analyse van de wijze waarop Coetzee in The Lives of Animals en in Disgrace, en Foer in Eating Animals gedragingen zoals geveinsde onwetendheid blootleggen en bestrijden. Resultaten: n.v.t.

Abstract

Seit den 1960er-Jahren haben Künstler*innen tradierte Vorstellungen einer Opposition von Kunst und Natur in Frage gestellt. Sie bezogen Tiere und Pflanzen als Ko-Akteure ein und etablierten somit eine skulpturale Ästhetik des Lebendigen, die eine Neudefinition der Gattung Skulptur erforderte. Die Studie untersucht erstmals sogenannte Non-Human Living Sculptures am Beispiel von Hans Haacke und Pierre Huyghe. Ausgehend von einer Re-Lektüre der Skulpturhistoriographie der Moderne bewertet die Autorin in einzelnen Werkanalysen bestehende Theorien neu und erweitert diese. Gezeigt wird, wie die von US-amerikanischer Systemtheorie, -biologie und Kybernetik bestimmten realzeitlichen Systeme Haackes und seine Abkehr von einer Objektästhetik zeitgenössische Positionen prägen, wie die situationsästhetischen Arbeiten von Huyghe. Erste umfassende wissenschaftliche Studie sogenannter Non-Human Living Sculptures Re-Lektüre der Skulpturhistoriographie des 20. Jahrhunderts Skulpturale Ästhetik des Lebendigen Since the 1960s, artists have questioned the traditional idea of opposition between art and nature. They have incorporated animals and plants as co-actors in their work, and so established a sculptural aesthetic of the living, which called for a redefinition of the sculptural genre. This study is the first to examine so-called Non-Human Living Sculptures using the examples of Hans Haacke and Pierre Huyghe. Following a re-reading of the historiography of modernist sculpture, the author re-evaluates and expands on existing theories in individual work analyses. She shows how Haacke's real-time systems, determined by US systems theory, biology and cybernetics, as well as his rejection of the object aesthetic have shaped contemporary positions such as Huyghe's situational-aesthetic works. First comprehensive academic study of socalled Non-Human Living Sculptures Re-reading of the historiography of 20th century sculpture Sculptural aesthetics of the living

Abstract

Reimagining Urban Nature questions some of the underlying imaginaries which have for so long allowed us humans to develop technologically at great cost to the more-than-human world and ourselves. In urban places, cultural and more-than-human entities are in frequent contact; however, the non-human is often seen as expendable in these human-centric places. While much important work has been done on improving care for the more rural and wild areas of the globe, to really address environmental damage we must work towards reimagining the city. These are places where the majority of people live and work, and where the majority of decisions are made about the care and protection of many environments within and beyond the city. This book contributes to the still under-developed field of urban ecocriticism by adding a posthumanist perspective, as well as expanding current discussions within urban studies and environmental activism that seek to shift political and cultural imaginaries of urban nature. Importantly, this investigation is grounded in the Australian (and more broadly, the Australasian) context to allow for the analysis of a more diverse set of voices, texts and ecologies in an area still dominated by the northern hemisphere and the Global North.

Abstract

Being Human examines the complex connections among conceptions of human nature, attitudes toward non-human nature, and ethics. Anna Peterson proposes an "ethical anthropology" that examines how ideas of nature and humanity are bound together in ways that shape the very foundations of cultures. Peterson discusses mainstream Western understandings of what it means to be human, as well as alternatives to these perspectives, and suggests that the construction of a compelling, coherent environmental ethics will revise our ideas not only about nature but also about what it means to be human.

Abstract

In higher mammals, including primates and carnivores, the asymmetrical aspects of brain morphology and function have been shown to be species-related, sex-related, and subject to individual diversity, and are associated with cognition, emotion, language, preference of hand/paw use, and numerous other aspects. Disturbance of the brain lateralization is involved in human neurodevelopmental disorders with cognitive impairments, social deficits, and/or specific language impairments. Asymmetric development may be essential to the evolution of the brain in acquiring higher and/or more diverse functions. The purpose of this Special Issue on “Brain Asymmetry in Evolution” is to highlight morphological and functional lateralization of the brain in various species of mammals toward understanding the evolution of the brain.
