<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Exciting discussions in critical animal studies and posthumanism. Intertwining analyses of gender, disability, culture, and race into species, this collection demonstrates that respect for difference rather than similarity marks a vibrant turn in thinking about nonhuman animals, as well as our entangled relationships with them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Animal Subjects: An Ethical Reader in a Posthuman World </i>(WLU Press, 2008) challenged cultural studies to include nonhuman animals within its purview. While the "question of the animal" ricochets across the academy and reverberates within the public sphere, <i>Animal Subjects 2.0</i> builds on the previous book and takes stock of this explosive turn. It focuses on both critical animal studies and posthumanism, two intertwining conversations that ask us to reconsider common sense understandings of other animals and what it means to be human. </p><p>This collection demonstrates that many pressing contemporary social problems--how and why the oppression and exploitation of our species persist--are entangled with our treatment of other animals and the environment. Decades into the interrogation of our ethical and political responsibilities toward other animals, fissures within the academy deepen as the interest in animal ethics and politics proliferates. </p><p>Although ideological fault lines have inspired important debates about how to address the very material concerns informing these theoretical discussions, <i>Animal Subjects 2.0 </i>brings together divergent voices to suggest how to foster richer human-animal relations, and to cultivate new ways of thinking and being with the rest of animalkind. This collection demonstrates that appreciation of difference, not just similarity, is necessary for a more inclusive and compassionate world. Linking issues of gender, disability, culture, race, and sexuality into species, <i>Animal Subjects 2.0</i> maps vibrant developments in the emergent fields of critical animal studies and posthumanist thought. </p>
