This book addresses the problem of 'animal life' in terms that go
beyond the usual extension of liberal rights to animals. The
discourse of animal rights is one that increasingly occupies the
political, ethical and intellectual terrain of modern society. But,
although the question of the status of animals holds an important
place within a range of civil, political and technological
disciplines, the issue of rights in relation to animals usually
just rehearses the familiar perspectives of legal, moral and
humanist philosophy. 'Animal law' is fast becoming a topic of
significant contemporary interest and discussion. This burgeoning
interest has not, however, been matched by renewed inquiry into the
jurisprudential frames and methods for the treatment of animals in
law, or the philosophical issue of the 'human' and the 'animal' at
law's foundation. Responding to this interest, this book brings
together leading and emerging critical legal theorists to address
the question of animality in relation to law's foundations,
practices and traditions of thought. In so doing, it engages a
surprisingly underdeveloped aspect of the moral philosophies of
animal rights, namely their juridical register and existence. How
does 'animal law' alter our juridical image of personality or
personhood? How do the technologies of law intersect with the
technologies that invent, create and manage animal life? And how
might the ethical, ontological and ceremonial relation between
humans and animals be linked to a common source or experience of
law?
