Building new proximities with the animal in and through - and at times in spite of - the visual apparatus, Seeing Animals after Derrida investigates how the recent turn in animal studies toward new materialism, speculative realism, and object-oriented ontology prompts a renewed engagement with Derrida''s animal philosophy. In taking up the matter of Derrida''s treatment of animality for the current epoch, the contributors to this book each present a case for new philosophical approaches and aesthetic paradigms that challenge the ocularcentrism of Western culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Seeing Animals - Sarah Bezan \u0026amp; James Tink   Part One: New Orientations in Derrida’s Philosophy  The Wolves of the World: Derrida on the Political Symbolism of the Beast and the Sovereign - Gavin Rae  The Loaded Cat - David Brooks   Part Two: Posthumous Encounters  “The Most Famous Dog in History”: Mourning the Animot in Abadzis’ Laika - José Alaniz The Anterior Animal: Derrida, Deep Time, and Immersive Vision of Paleoartist Julius Csotonyi - Sarah Bezan  “The Dignity of Mankind”: Edward Tyson’s Anatomy of a Pygmie and the Ape-Man Boundary - Nicole Mennell  Part Three: Beyond Ocularcentrism  Chris Marker’s Alter Egos: The Camera and the Cat - Bonnie Gill Scenting Wild: Olfactory Panic and Jack London’s Ocular Dogs - David Huebert Do Androids Dream of Derrida’s Cat?
