Lori Gruenová zkoumá etiku a její praktické aplikace, se zvláštním zaměřením na ty, kteří jsou v tradičních etických studiích často opomíjeni. Její práce se pohybuje na pomezí filozofie, feministických studií, genderových a sexuálních studií a environmentálních studií. Věnuje se zejména otázkám týkajícím se žen, barevných lidí a zvířat. Své rozsáhlé zkušenosti z psaní, výuky a aktivismu v oblasti práv zvířat promítá do hloubavého zkoumání etických teorií.
In this comprehensive updated introduction to animal ethics, Lori Gruen weaves together poignant and provocative case studies with discussions of ethical theory, urging readers to engage critically and reflect empathetically on our relationships with other animals.
How do other animals experience their environments? What might they be thinking? Lori Gruen weaves together case studies with accessible ethical analysis to help us to reflect critically on our obligations to other animals. Her book offers a comprehensive resource for students and an engaging account for general readers.
In Entangled Empathy, scholar and activist Lori Gruen argues that rather than focusing on animal “rights,” we ought to work to make our relationships with animals right by empathetically responding to their needs, interests, desires, vulnerabilities, hopes, and unique perspectives. Pointing out that we are already entangled in complex and life-altering relationships with other animals, Gruen guides readers through a new way of thinking about—and practicing—animal ethics.Gruen describes entangled empathy as a type of caring perception focused on attending to another’s experience of well-being. It is an experiential process involving a blend of emotion and cognition in which we recognize we are in relationships with others and are called upon to be responsive and responsible in these relationships by attending to another. When we engage in entangled empathy we are transformed and in that transformation we can imagine less violent, more meaningful ways of being together.
In this follow-up to We Animals, Canadian photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur explores zoos and aquaria, and how "we" animals interact with "those" animals. In over one hundred photographs, Captive reveals the lives of animals in zoos and aquaria around the world. McArthur photographed animals in these situations for over a decade, and the book will include images from over 20 countries on five continents, shot most recently in the last year while she was working with The Born Free Foundation in Europe. The book has contributions from Virginia McKenna, co-founder of the Born Free Foundation, philosopher Lori Gruen, and Ron Kagan, CEO of the Detroit Zoo. We're at an important point in history right now. More than ever, ordinary people are thinking about the ethics of keeping animals in captivity for our entertainment. This reflection will help propel us into a new era of (re)considering our relationship with other animals. Captive aims to be a part of these important discussions.
Who cares? Während Pflege-Notstand und Care-Krise anzeigen, dass es schlecht um die Fürsorge steht, hat das Thema in der gegenwärtigen Kunstpraxis Momentum gewonnen. Der Katalog zur Ausstellung TechnoCare erkundet das aktuelle und höchst brisante Sujet der Fürsorgearbeit und fragt, wer ihre Akteur_innen sind. Die Kandidaten: Menschen, Tiere, Roboter und künstlerische Arbeiten selbst.
