This book addresses the persistence of meat consumption and the use
of animals as food in spite of significant challenges to their
environmental and ethical legitimacy. Drawing on Foucault's regime
of power/knowledge/pleasure, and theorizations of the gaze, it
identifies what contributes to the persistent edibility of 'food'
animals even, and particularly, as this edibility is increasingly
critiqued. Beginning with the question of how animals, and their
bodies, are variously mapped by humans according to their use
value, it gradually unpacks the roots of our domination of 'food'
animals - a domination distinguished by the literal embodiment of
the 'other'. The logics of this embodied domination are approached
in three inter-related parts that explore, respectively, how
knowledge, sensory and emotional associations, and visibility work
together to render animal's bodies as edible flesh. The book
concludes by exploring how to more effectively challenge the
'entitled gaze' that maintains 'food' animals as persistently
edible.
