I add newer versions of there fragments to the blog-front. (11th June 2018)
—
A list in context with my fragment: Many forms of speciesism. The list will most likely be extended.
Speciesism and patriarchy
A system of physical and psychological dominance
based on a biologism,
‘first man!’ and everything else is subordinate –
the lowest, being the object declared to be such.
Speciesism and logics
when injustice is declared to be “making sense”;
with a limited objectivity –
underlying life the arbitrariness of
“relevance”, “utility”, “rationality”, calculation
–
Speciesism, collectivism and individualism
either, the collective and the individual
can feel their species-identity reinforced
by relegating the nonhuman animal other
into the blind spots of subjective experience.
–
Natural sciences and speciesism
an abstract perspective on the world
from a human standpoint,
that locates “thinking” and
“the capacity of experiencing freedom”
in certain body parts (as complex or primitive) and their functions;
(a stance counterpointed by a basso continuo
of purposeful evolutionary “natural selection” – the survival of the “fittest”)
This following table has to be corrected:
–
Gender and speciesism
With culture and gender identity roles being inseparably tied together,
a culture that assumes speciesism as its practical normality
also has a developed, inbuilt “mechanism”
of the players in the pretentious staging of “humanity”
to serve like brackets on the notion of
a dignity inherent to any species and any “gender”.
–
Religious speciesism:
assumes human spirituality
as a basis for
devaluing nonhuman animal otherness.
–
Pastoral speciesism:
‘domestication’ –
the act of keeping nonhuman animals
to gain any right of passage,
to define, use, kill, prepare, ingest them.
–
Speciesism and spectacle:
The display of a speciesist act
of harming or killing,
to desensitize onlookers
– lessons in ‘human might’
–
The speciesist ideology of hunting:
Marking dominance over “the wilderness”
by total habitat control,
the initial instance of
declaring nonhuman animals
to be human food
– an assumed relative sameness with
animals of prey
–
These following slides are also featured in the category: Aspects of Speciesism:
Speciesist narcissism
A question of identity (human vs. animal) –
in which a human hides his/her factual individuality (i.e. human collectivism as a shield)
beneath the psychological and/or physical violence against animal dignity.
