1ª Conferencia de Estudios Críticos de Animales

by Anthony Nocella

1st Annual South American Conference for Critical Animal Studies
Friday August 10, 2012
Chile

TEMA: “Hablar sobre Animales, Teoría y Activismo”

La invitación es la siguiente: se acoge a todo/a aquel que quiera hablar lo que quiera sobre animales. La consigna es arriesgada, pero con justa razón.
Los estudios críticos de animales son el primer campo académico de estudio dedicado a la abolición de la explotación animal y ecológica, de la opresión, apropiación y la dominación. Está basado en un movimiento amplio, global, emancipatorio e inclusivo, que persigue la liberación total y la libertad ante dicha opresión.
Nos interesa llamar la atención sobre las nuevas y viejas formas de pensar al animal (en las diversas maneras que toma la etiqueta de lo animal), que a lo largo de la historia, han terminado identificándolo, o bien con un homólogo fantasioso del humano, o bien una máquina de reflejos.
