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.

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

This book explores the role of animals -- horses, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs -- in shaping Georgian London. Moving away from the philosophical, fictional and humanitarian sources used by previous animal studies, it focuses on evidence of tangible, dung-bespattered interactions between real people and animals, drawn from legal, parish, commercial, newspaper and private records.This approach opens up new perspectives on unfamiliar or misunderstood metropolitan spaces, activities, social types, relationships and cultural developments. Ultimately, the book challenges traditional assumptions about the industrial, agricultural and consumer revolutions, as well as key aspects of the city's culture, social relations and physical development. It will be stimulating reading for students and professional scholars of urban, social, economic, agricultural, industrial, architectural and environmental history.

Abstract

La complessità delle connessioni fra umano e non-umano ha trovato nella tradizione poetica statunitense sviluppi estetici originali per ampiezza e profondità. Al contempo, volendo articolare nel testo letterario il silenzio della natura e le sue conseguenze, l’indagine estetica si è sempre più caricata di valenze assiologiche ed epistemologiche, in un crescente intrecciarsi di estetica ed etica. In queste pagine, tre delle maggiori poetesse del Novecento americano aiutano ad illuminare proprio questo spazio di riflessione, ancora ampiamente inesplorato dalla critica. La lettura di Denise Levertov, Mary Oliver e Louise Glück rivela una tensione relazionale il cui fulcro immaginativo ed etico è qui rintracciato nel dialogo muto ma costitutivo fra io lirico e natura. Poesia dopo poesia fiorisce l’impegno poetico a tradurre per il lettore quel tacito conversare che intesse il rapporto fra soggetto umano e mondo naturale e che contiene e mantiene le polarità costitutive di un’interazione in apparenza impossibile, silenziosa eppure sensibile, differita eppure presente, ineffabile eppure reale. Questa lirica esalta e potenzia il carattere relazionale e perfino dialogico dell’esperienza. L’espressione poetica si configura, allora, come un tentativo di con-versare, di costruire insieme all’altro, natura e lettore, la poesia
