Human-animal co-existence is central to a politics of life, how we
order societies, and to debates about who 'we' humans think 'we'
are. In other words, our ways of understanding and ordering
human-animal relations have economic and political implications and
affect peoples' everyday lives. By bringing together
historically-oriented approaches and contemporary ethnographies
which engage with science and technology studies (STS), this book
reflects the multi-sited, multi-species, multi-logic and multiple
ways in which lives are and have been assembled, disassembled,
practised and possibly policed and politicized. Instead of asking
only how control and knowledge are and have been extended over
life, the chapters in this book also look at what happens when
control fails, at practices which defy orders, escape detection,
fail to produce or only loosely hang together. In doing so the book
problematises and extends the Foucauldian notion of biopolitics
that has been such a central analytical concept in studies of
human-animal relations and provides a unique resource of cases and
theoretical refinements regarding the ways in which we live
together with more than human others .
