Education in the animal-industrial complex
Keywords:
secondary and higher education, schizoanalysis, animal-industrial complexAbstract
This chapter, based on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews in veterinary education and in upper secondary education, addresses the connections between animal science education and the animal industries through a schizoanalytic concept: the abstract machine (Deleuze & Guattari, [1980]2004). Two major and intersecting axes cutting across animal science education are explored: Animal capital and the animal-industrial complex. First, the chapter identifies and brings to the fore a “missing link” of education research in scholarship on animal capital and the animal-industrial complex. Second, the chapter asks what becomes of the animal-industrial complex in a schizoanalytic approach to education? The notion of the animal-industrial complex needs modification to account for the multifaceted function of education therein. In schizoanalytic terms, the animal-industrial complex is an abstract machine organizing life conditions for animals and students in education as well as in society at large.
