Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of Vegan Studies
Book SynopsisThis wide-ranging volume explores the tension between the dietary practice of veganism and the manifestation, construction, and representation of a vegan identity in today's society.Emerging in the early 21st century, vegan studies is distinct from more familiar conceptions of animal studies, an umbrella term for a three-pronged field that gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, consisting of critical animal studies, human animal studies, and posthumanism. While veganism is a consideration of these modes of inquiry, it is a decidedly different entity, an ethical delineator that for many scholars marks a complicated boundary between theoretical pursuit and lived experience. The Routledge Handbook of Vegan Studies is the must-have reference for the important topics, problems, and key debates in the subject area and is the first of its kind. Comprising over 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, this handbook is divided into five parts:Table of ContentsPART 1 History and foundational texts 1 Framing vegan studies: vegetarianism, veganism, animal studies, ecofeminism Laura Wright2 Pythagoras, Plutarch, Porphyry, and the ancient defense of the vegetarian choice Joanna Komorowska3 Vegetarian and vegan histories Tom Hertweck4 The analytic philosophers: Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation and Tom Regan’s The Case for Animal Rights Josh Milburn5 The "posthumanists": Cary Wolfe and Donna Haraway Eva GiraudPART 2 Vegan studies in the disciplines: humanities 6 Vegan literature for children: epistemic resistance, agency, and the Anthropocene Marzena Kubisz7 Veganism, ecoethics, and climate change in Margaret Atwood’s "MaddAddam" trilogy Tatiana Prorokova-Konrad8 Vegan Cervantes: meat consumption and social degradation in Dialogue of the Dogs José Manuel Marrero Henríquez9 A quiet riot: veganism as anti-capitalism and ecofeminist revolt in Han Kang’s The Vegetarian Liz Mayo10 Causal impotence and veganism: recent developments and possible ways forward David Killoren11 By any means of persuasion necessary: the rhetoric of veganism Christopher Garland1 2 Veganism and the U.S. legal system Tim Phillips13 Vegan studies in sociology Elizabeth Cherry14 Psychology and vegan studies Adam Feltz and Silke Feltz15 Vegan studies and food studies Jessica HolmesPART 3 Vegan studies in the disciplines: religion 16 Veganism and Christianity Allison Covey17 Yes, but is it Kosher?

Taylor & Francis Animals Welfare and the Law
Book SynopsisIn this objective, practical and authoritative introductory text the author reveals how the fundamental principles of the human-animal relationship drive the development of animal law. The book explains the criteria by which the lawful use of animals is determined, and how these criteria impact evolving standards of animal protection and define the responsibilities of people in their interactions with animals. The author identifies 29 key principles which constitute the core knowledge necessary for people involved in debating, assessing, and guiding the evolution of society's national and international rulebook of animal welfare law. The book also considers animal welfare and law in the context of a global market through discussion of common issues such as climate change, biosecurity, food safety and food supply. Based on successful law courses run by the author and his own expertise as an animal law lecturer, prosecutor and specialist legal adviser, the book combines Table of Contents29 Fundamental Principles of Animal Welfare Law 1.

Taylor & Francis Sport Animals and Society
Book SynopsisIn critical sport studies, the place of animals has been a relatively minor field of inquiry. Much of this research has addressed animals with regard to gambling, via studies of horse racing. Increasingly, however, riding the animal studies wave, sport studies researchers are looking more extensively at interspecies relations and taking up topics connected to Posthumanism. In this book, contributors offer the first comprehensive overview of the implications of this new field for sports studies, exploring subjects including the horse-rider relationship, the marketing of professional rodeo, the ethics of the sport of dog agility, and many more.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd What Do We Owe Other Animals
Philosophers Bob Fischer and Anja Jauernig agree that human society often treats animals in indefensible ways and that all animals morally matter; they disagree on whether humans and animals morally matter equally. In What Do We Owe Other Animals?: A Debate, Fischer and Jauernig square off over this central question in animal ethics. Jauernig defends the view that all living beings morally matter equally and are owed compassion, on account of which we are also obligated to adopt a vegan diet. Fischer denies that we have an obligation to become vegans, and argues for the position that humans morally matter more than all other living creatures.The two authors each offer a clear, well-developed opening statement, a direct response to the other's statement, and then a response to the other's response. Along the way, they explore central questions, like: What kind of beings matter morally? What kind of obligations do we have towards other animals? How demanding can we reaso

Taylor & Francis Ltd Pets
Book Synopsis'When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?' - Michel de Montaigne. Why do we live with pets? Is there something more to our relationship with them than simply companionship? What is it we look for in our pets and what does this say about us as human beings? In this fascinating book, Erica Fudge explores the nature of this most complex of relationships and the difficulties of knowing what it is that one is living with when one chooses to share a home with an animal. Fudge argues that our capacity for compassion and ability to live alongside others is evident in our relationships with our pets, those paradoxical creatures who give us a sense of comfort and security while simultaneously troubling the categories human and animal. For what is a pet if it isn't a fully-fledged member of the human family? This book proposes that by crossing over these boundaries pets help construct who it is we think we are. Drawing on the works of modern writers, such as J. M. Coetzee, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and Jacques Derrida, Fudge shows how pets have been used to think with and to undermine our easy conceptions of human, animal and home. Indeed, "Pets" shows our obsession with domestic animals that reveals many of the paradoxes, contra - dictions and ambiguities of life. Living with pets provides thought-provoking perspectives on our notions of possession and mastery, mutuality and cohabitation, love and dominance. We might think of pets as simply happy, loved additions to human homes but as this captivating book reveals perhaps it is the pets that make the home and without pets perhaps we might not be the humans we think we are. For anyone who has ever wondered, like Montaigne, what their cat is thinking, it will be illuminating reading.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. Living with pets 3. Thinking with pets 4.

Along the way, Casey recounts the history of dolphin research and introduces us to the leading marine scientists and activists who have made it their life’s work to increase humans’ understanding and appreciation of the wonder of dolphins.
