Interesting and insightful seminar today in Lund University, hosted by the Department of Critical animal studies.

The subject of the seminar was based on the new book by academic Chiara Stefanoni "The human and the meat". Here's a link for the book:

https://www.adlibris.com/sv/bok/the-human-and-the-meat-9783837679571

Description of the book:

"Over 85 billion animals are killed in slaughterhouses annually to sustain a profit-driven meat production system - devastating animals, workers, and the environment. How did we get here? How has capitalist society reshaped human-animal relations? Elaborating a novel materialist and intersectional framework, Chiara Stefanoni conceptualizes the social form of human-animal relations and its centrality within the interconnected structure of domination in capitalist societies, especially in relation to gender and class. Through a historical analysis of industrial slaughterhouses, the study reveals how the human/animal divide and meat-based diet are not timeless facts, but concrete social solutions crucial for the reproduction of capitalist society."

🌱📗🐀 i read half of this book that my friend lent me: "expanding the critical animal studies imagination essays in solidarity and total liberation."

this is my review of this book of essays by multiple authors: 8/10

i like how foreword is about intersectional revolutionary veganism, especially in these times of vegan-washing and queer-washing of the zionist nakba.

for the most part, the language is dense and academic. this is a university book. they write »I pursue this scrutiny by holding an anthropological lens to the quotidian components of metropolis life,« instead of »let's look at a day in the city«. that style of writing is hard for me to read.

the essay that confused me the most was "create meat though the world may perish: a vegan critique of in vitro meat and clean milk" by nathan poirier.

nathan argues strongly against cultured meat: »But for "the animal" [...] IVM represents the ultimate oppression: nonexistence.« in the book there are a few other essays critical of natalism and critical of breeding »monsters«, but here nathan is making a natalist argument that echoes a pig farmer saying that if he didn't breed the pigs into existence, then they wouldn't even be alive, and therefore he is liberating them from non-existence.

nathan also presents the argument of »cultured meat as violence« and that it ruins the »good relationships« that hunters have with the »moose, salmon, deer« who they kill. i would be extremely worried if such a person was seeking a »good relationship« with me!

then there is some talking bad about carol adams whose »uncritical support« of cultured meat is »an incompatability with veganism and total liberation.« nathan writes that carol »made [him] feel like it was inappropriate for [him] as a graduate student to question her,« and that she »brushed off critiques of her theory on the sexual politics of meat«.

the cover art on the book is very nice. it has a squirrel leaping up to smash a surveillance camera. there is a machine gun shooting flowers. syringes and lab mice. a fetus orbiting planet earth. it is by ren suchyta-korany.

there is also an essay about why you shouldn't fly. my friend wrote that. she is right: don't fly.

my review score: 10/10 for being intersectional vegan book with cool cover, -1 for natalism, -1 for being pro-hunting: 8/10

Recapping last year’s publications:
My article “Unveiling the strategic discourse of European dairy industry pressure groups” was published in the Journal for Human-Animal Studies.

It analyzes how the European dairy industry uses strategic communication to influence narratives and policies, aligning with current environmental, health, and animal welfare concerns while contradicting them.

Season 3 Episode 2: Thinking About How We Think About Animals with Dr Chloë Taylor

Today’s episode is all about animal ethics—or do we mean critical animal studies? Ariel discusses this linguistic nuance and the difference between them (and much, much more!) with Dr Chloë Taylor, professor of women and gender studies at the University of Alberta. Dr Taylor has been involved in a five-year-long project researching the “Intersections of Animality” and is a trained philosopher who works in gender studies, and sees a lot of intersections between the way that we think about and treat animals and the way that we think about and treat minoritized subjects. Come join us for a thought-provoking and highly educational discussion!

Just re-encountered this piece in Calarco’s Thinking Through Animals (2015) again. Finding so much to chew on today…

#introduction

Hi! I'm Ness (she/they) :100_gay: :_gaysparkle:. I'm an #interdisciplinary #gradstudent at #uvic in #philosophy and law. My #thesis is a #feminist intervention of the subjugation of female cows in spaces of #canadian intensive dairy production. I've been working on this for far too long! AOI/S include #feministphilosophy #feministlegaltheory #criticalanimalstudies #ethics #moralpsychology #ecofeminism #disability and most #leftie discourse. My bestie is Zelda, the border collie.

#introduction
I am a #VisualArtist and #researcher who just finished my #phd in #criticalanimalstudies and #artisticresearch at Edge Hill Uni UK. #vegan in Sweden with #rescuedog Jodie 🐶.

Inside #studio I’m working with #drawing, #text and #performance. Outside studio I’m #teaching #art at an #artschool, #lecturing on #animals in #arthistory and #animalethics in #artpractice.

Deals with Sweden’s turn towards #authoritarianism with #antifascist friends from #feminism and #intersectionality

👋🏻 Next week I am doing a performance in the form of a guided tour at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. It’s free to attend but you have to book a spot. It’s on Friday at 10AM.

During the performance I will address the visible and invisible Fauna of the Art Museum, with the help of counter art histories, speaking on feathers, an ox, and the connection between milk and white pigments. Come by!

Dear Void… just an #introduction 👋🏻
I’m Hugo, a #philosophy and #law #gradstudent at #Stellenbosch Uni in South Africa. Currently working on my LLM thesis in the #legalphilosophy of #animallaw. Broadly, my research draws on #decolonial theory, #criticalanimalstudies , #ecofeminism , and #posthumanism to displace #anthropocentrism as a quasi-transcendental limit of legal discourse.
Other interests include #psychoanalysis #queertheory #litfic #poetry #architecture
Uhm yeah, see y’all around ✌🏻
