| description | This volume takes ending the oppression of other animals seriously and confronts the question ‘What would happen to all the animals?’ by showcasing real, promissory, and imagined counter-sites or heterotopia , where animals ‘happen’ in different ways, free of anthropocentric orders of value and purpose. Rejecting persistent understandings of the oppression of nonhuman animals, across the entire breadth of the Animal-Industrial Complex (A-IC), as either non-existent, unproblematic, and/or fundamentally unalterable – open to merely being reduced in scale or made less harmful – the collection offers readers a variety of pathways towards radically ‘disordered’ ways of thinking about and relating to other animals. Over 14 chapters, authors describe more liberatory relational reconfigurations playing out in the present and undertake conceptual, imaginative, and embodied explorations of liberatory futures. The chapters are united by a common commitment to heterotopic disturbance – to contesting and subverting the anthropo-capitalo-centric space in which we live. Each chapter approaches this subversion in its own way, using prefiguration, restorying, speculation, radical imagination, and combinations thereof, to disturb or shatter orders, explore the kinds of liberation and resistance their disturbance demonstrates, demands, or embodies, and ultimately illustrate exactly what would or could happen to all the animals. Heterotopia, Radical Imagination, and Shattering Orders will appeal to scholars, students, and individuals interested not only in challenging normalised binaries, hierarchies, and orders of value, both human and nonhuman, but in creating and realising liberatory alternatives. Scholar-activists, activists, professionals working in animal advocacy, and anyone undertaking activities aimed at radically changing how other animals are understood and used will also find inspiration, new insights, and information that enhance their current methods and approaches. Some readers may also find simply confirmation and comfort in the knowledge that so many others are working in solidarity with the ‘disordered’ belief that shattering the A-IC is possible. |
