Bringing these two emergent areas of thought into direct conversation in Before the Law, Cary Wolfe fosters a new discussion about the status of nonhuman animals and the shared plight of humans and animals under biopolitics. Wolfe argues that the human-animal distinction must be supplemented with the central distinction of biopolitics: the difference between those animals that are members of a community and those that are deemed killable but not murderable. From this understanding, we can begin to make sense of the fact that this distinction prevails within both the human and animal domains and address such difficult issues as why we afford some animals unprecedented levels of care and recognition while subjecting others to unparalleled forms of brutality and exploitation. Engaging with many major figures in biopolitical thought--from Heidegger, Arendt, and Foucault to Agamben, Esposito, and Derrida--Wolfe explores how biopolitics can help us understand both the ethical and political dimensions of the current questions surrounding the rights of animals"--Provided by publisher. 000693767 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000693767 650_0 $$aAnimal rights$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000693767 650_0 $$aAnimal rights$$xPolitical aspects. 000693767 650_0 $$aAnimal rights$$xEconomic aspects. 000693767 650_0 $$aSpeciesism. 000693767 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWolfe, Cary.$$tBefore the law.$$dChicago, Ill. ; London : The University of Chicago Press, ©2013$$z9780226922409$$w(DLC) 2012019260$$w(OCoLC)783150182 000693767 852__ $$bacq 000693767 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000693767 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=502586$$zOnline Access 000693767 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:693767$$pGLOBAL_SET 000693767 980__ $$aEBOOK 000693767 980__ $$aBIB 000693767 982__ $$aEbook 000693767 983__ $$aOnline 000693767 994__ $$a92$$bISE
