本文利用朱迪思巴特勒的工作,以图表酷儿和女权主义动物研究,动物研究,庆祝我们共同的体现有限性。在过去的几年里,巴特勒对其他动物的评论仍然分散在书籍、讲座和采访中。这部作品与她关于哀悼和不稳定生活的作品结合在一起进行了批判性的合成。通过发展对哀悼和不稳定生活的反中心主义理解,本文希望创造本体论,伦理和政治概念,以抵制现在的暴力。在这样做的时候,本文对比巴特勒的不稳定的生活与乔治阿甘本的裸露的生活的理解,以设想的不稳定性构成的社会现实。这种智力劳动为理解哀悼其他动物的生命奠定了基础,这是一种产生新社区的政治行为,而不是一种个性化和孤立的情感。
This article utilizes the work of Judith Butler in order to chart a queer and feminist animal studies, an animal studies that celebrates our shared embodied finitude. Butler's commentary on other animals remains dispersed and fragmented throughout books, lectures, and interviews over the course of the last several years. This work is critically synthesized in conjunction with her work on mourning and precarious lives. By developing an anti‐anthropocentric understanding of mourning and precarious lives, this article hopes to create ontological, ethical, and political concepts that resist the violence of the present. In so doing, the article contrasts Butler's understanding of precarious life with Giorgio Agamben's understanding of bare life in order to conceive of precariousness as constitutive of social reality. This intellectual labor lays the groundwork for understanding mourning the lives of other animals as a political act that produces new communities, rather than as an individuating and isolating emotion.
