Resistencia animal:

ética, perspectivismo y políticas de subversión

Abstract

The current text comprises a sort of auto-critic micro-manifest whose goal is to revise various elements shared by the activists in “the abolitionist movement for animal liberation”. Thus, we point out several problematic aspects of some of assumptions listed in the discourses, at the same time that we propose alternative paths. Far from historic and Universalist interpretations, we consider that it is necessary to set out various and multiple places of expression that will resist not only the anthropocentric speciesism, but also to the dogmatism and fanaticism of certain kinds of veganism. Following with the heritage of authors such as Deleuze, Nietzsche, and Derrida, we will show how the animal resistance demands the deconstruction of the hierarchical, dual, and identitarian logic (which has contrasted the being with the becoming, reality against fiction, man against woman and animal, etc.) favoring this way a plural and multiple view to face other ways to conceive us and our ways to connect with other animals. From this viewpoint, we reconstruct vegan practices as ethical-political strategies that intend to denaturalize and shake a sacrificial regime and the dominant carnofalogocentric order. We are looking to pose three fractures: the transfer from moral to ethical order, the allocation from the universalism to perspectivism, and last the metamorphosis to the vegan identity to the veganism as a political esthetic-ethic practice.
