Significant others:
thinking-with care in interspecies performance
Keywords:
intersectional feminism, otherness, animalizationAbstract
This paper acts as a work of feminist inquiry in dialogue with a multiplicity of multispecies feminist voices. Grounded in feminist epistemologies, it foregrounds a politics of radically inclusive intersectional feminism with and beyond women towards other groups suffering similar oppressions under interlocking systems of domination, including non-human animals. As this paper discusses themes of “Otherness” and animalization, it is important that I acknowledge my own position as a cis white European woman who inherently benefits from racist systems of white supremacy, and therefore I recognise that I am consequently discussing the themes of this paper from a position of white privilege. I am aware that my lived experience of these issues as a white woman differs dramatically from other racial, ethnic and minority groups, and I try to approach this by incorporating diverse voices and experiences into my research in terms of the theorists, artists and nonhuman animals I think along with.
