Through looking at meat's status as a fundamental and visceral part of human-animal relations--particularly its commodification and consumption--this book exhibits how animals fit into human discursive practices and how this discursive position determines our perspective of animals and, subsequently, our treatment of them. Modernity is a distinct stage of meat production and accordingly, the meat-commodity must be examined in all its contemporary specificity as an economic, linguistic, philosophical, psychoanalytic, and material object. Using theoretical prisms that have been largely overlooked in animal studies, such as Marxian analysis and Lacanian-Zizekian psychoanalysis, and rejecting popular approaches, such as analogical thinking and effacement of human-animal difference, this book offers new insights into the meat-commodity--and new ways to orient ourselves towards animal life and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 27, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47343380791545,"sku":"9781476694269","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Z3ImntZH_I9781476694269.webp?v=1769719538","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/interpreting-meat-theorizing-the-commodification-and-consumption-of-animals-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
