The politics of knowledge in interspecies performanceSamenvatting
How to think from human entanglement in nonhuman life rather than from an assumption
of separation and exception? How to put a non-universalizing, dehumanist ethics of
knowledge into practice? How to practice a politics of knowledge in relation to nonhuman
animals, built on the principle of differential continuity or kinship in difference rather than
the logic of analogy that is the shared logic of anthropocentrism and other oppressive
modes of thought? This paper addresses the performative politics of knowledge at work in
relation to concepts of politics, performance and animality and the emergence of
interspecies performance as an ethico-political practice with reference to the work of
Julietta Singh, Eva Meijer, Una Chaudhuri and Black vegan scholarship.
