Quels sont les ressorts émotionnels, intellectuels et théoriques de l'engagement en faveur des animaux ? Mise en lumière par des scandales sanitaires récents, par la montée en puissance d'associations se réclamant de l'antispécisme et du droit des animaux et par la radicalisation des actions militantes, la question des relations entre humains et bêtes a pris ces dernières années en France une importance inédite. Le mouvement « animaliste » contemporain constitue-t-il une nouveauté ? Son influence croissante change-t-elle nos perceptions des rapports légitimes entre humains et non-humains ? Quels sont les enjeux et les futurs possibles de cette entreprise singulière de représentation politique ? S'éloignant des querelles entre pro- et anti-véganisme qui semblent devenir le seul horizon du débat public sur la cause animale, cet ouvrage pluridisciplinaire permet au lecteur d'affiner ses jugements à l'aune des multiples sciences sociales mobilisées par la question animale

Given their tendency to splinter over tactics and goals, social movements are rarely unified. While most scholars agree factionalism can be a major hurdle for successful mobilization, existing research is limited. Following the modern Western animal rights movement over thirty years, Piecemeal Protest applies the sociological theory of Bourdieu, Goffman, Weber, and contemporary social movement researchers to examine structural conditions facilitating factionalism in today's era of professionalized advocacy. Modern social movements are dominated by bureaucratically-oriented nonprofits, a special arrangement which creates significant tension between activists and movement elites who compete for success in a corporate political arena. Piecemeal Protest examines the impact of nonprofitization on factionalism and a movement's ability to mobilize, resonate, and succeed. Corey Lee Wrenn's exhaustive content analysis of archival movement literature and exclusive interviews with movement leaders illustrate how entities with greater symbolic capital are positioned to monopolize claimsmaking, disempower competitors, and replicate hegemonic power, eroding democratic access to dialogue and decision-making essential for movement health. Piecemeal Protest examines social movement behavior shaped by capitalist ideologies and state interests. Heavy factional boundary maintenance may prevent critical discourse within the movement, and may provoke the symbolic appropriation of radical claimsmaking for bureaucratic ends and radical suppression. As power concentrates to the disadvantage of marginalized factions in the modern social movement arena, Piecemeal Protest shines light on processes of factionalism and considers how, in the age of nonprofits, intra-movement inequality could stifle social progress.

Cet essai recherche les raisons profondes dans l'imaginaire collectif qui ont amené l'Homme à anéantir le vivant sans considération de l'environnement. L'expérimentation animale est-elle la solution incontournable de la recherche scientifique ? Un monde où la biodiversité est attaquée, où des animaux disparaissent est-il viable pour l'homme ? Au-delà des aspects sanitaires et environnementaux liés à l'exploitation de l'animal, l'Homme ne prend-il pas le risque de perdre son humanité en déconsidérant l'animal, en s'amusant de sa misère ? Comprendre que les destins de l'homme et de l'animal sont liés en tant qu'être mortels pourrait s'avérer urgent pour assurer la pérennité de la vie sur terre.

This is the first volume of primary and secondary source material dedicated solely to the animal question in Levinas. Drawing on previously unpublished material, including the recent discovery and digitization of the original French recording of an interview with Levinas that took place in 1986, it seeks to give fresh impetus to the debate surrounding the moral status of animals in Levinas's work. The book offers ten essays by leading scholars, along with a general introduction that places Levinas's philosophy in the context of the growing field of animal ethics. The aim of the volume is to encourage dialogue on how we can extend Levinas's ethics beyond its traditional human confines and to spur further research on the opportunities and challenges it raises.
