"May this book be able to bark!":
a cosmopolítica dos animais and the art of philosophizing with animal('s) stories
Keywords:
animalisms, anthropocene, political philosophy, Juliana FaustoAbstract
The present review discusses Juliana Fausto’s new book, A cosmopolítica dos animais (“The Cosmopolitics of Animals”), recently published by Brazilian publishers n-1 and Hedra. Intertwining stories, philosophy, ethology, anthropology and biological sciences, the author elaborates a series of definitions for “politics” that go well beyond the reductionist scope of the anthropocentric political philosophy of the canons. Those definitions explain relevant connections between cosmopolitics and animality, and explore, in dialogue with authors such as Donna Haraway, Lynn Margulis, Paul B. Preciado and Vinciane Despret, other possibilities for theoretically engaging with the animals themselves.
