Is animal labour inherently oppressive, or can work be a source of meaning, solidarity, and social membership for animals? This challenging question drives this thought-provoking collection which explores the possibilities and complexities of animal labour as a site for interspecies justice. The book assembles an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars who carefully grapple with the many facets, implications, and entanglements of animal labour, and who,crucially, place animals at the heart of their analyses. Can animals engage in good work and have humane jobs? What kinds of labour rights are appropriate for animal workers? Can animals consent to work? Would recognizing animals as workers improve their legal and political status, or simplyreinforce the perception that they are beasts of burden? Can a focus on labour help to create or deepen bonds between animal advocates and other social justice movements? While the authors present a range of views on these questions, their contributions make clear that labour must be taken seriously by everyone interested in more just and ethical multispecies futures.

An in-depth look at the urgent struggle to protect animals from harm, cruelty, injustice, extinction, and their greatest threat—us.Beloved dogs and cats. Magnificent horses and mountain gorillas. Curious chickens. What do we actually do to protect animals from harm—and is it enough? This engaging book provides a unique and eye-opening exploration of the world of animal protection as people defend diverse animals from injustice and cruelty. From the streets of major US cities to remote farms and tropical forests, Defending Animals is a gritty and moving portrait of the real work of animal protection that takes place in communities, courtrooms, and boardrooms.Globally recognized expert Kendra Coulter takes readers across the different landscapes of animal protection to meet people and animals of all kinds, from cruelty investigators to forensic veterinarians, wildlife rehabilitators and conservation leaders to animal lawyers and entrepreneurs, each working in their own ways to defend animals. Bringing unparalleled research and a distinct and nuanced analytical viewpoint, Defending Animals shows that animal protection is not only physical, intellectual, and emotional work but also a labor so rooted in empathy and care that it just might bridge the vast divide between polarized people and help create a more humane future for us all.

A century of American history unfolds through the eyes of a giant tortoise with a heightened awareness for live music, the location of edible flowers, and the nuances of human behavior in this spellbinding debut novel. Snatched from her ancestral lands, a giant tortoise finds herself in an exclusive estate in southern California where she becomes an astute observer of societal change. Her journey is one of discovery, as she learns to embrace the music of jazz and the warmth of human connection. The tortoise’s story is enriched by her bond with Takeo, the estate’s gardener, who sees her as a being with thoughts and feelings, not just a creature to be observed. The tortoise’s mind and heart are further expanded by Lucy, a young girl who names the tortoise Magic and shares a friendship that transcends species. Together, they witness the estate’s transformation into a haven for industry titans, politicians, and rock stars, each leaving their mark on the world and on Magic’s heart. The tortoise embraces her role as a muse with gusto and witnesses how diverse human harmonies and the mighty winds of social change both uplift people and tear them apart. Over the course of her lifetime, the estate changes ownership, bringing raucous Hollywood parties, and animals both familiar and unexpected. There are also threats, as the estate’s idyll is not immune to the ravages of a damaged planet. Through each era, the tortoise remains a refreshingly honest and endearing narrator whose unique vantage point illuminates the transcendent power of compassion, the unexpected connections that shape how we see ourselves and each other, and the wide-reaching effects of choice—or the lack thereof. The Tortoise’s Tale is a whimsical yet profound exploration of humanity’s entangled journey, a call to recognize the interconnectedness of all life, and the potential for healing. Kendra Coulter’s debut novel is a moving portrait of resilience and hope, perfect for fans of Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures.

Dieser Band von Tierstudien beleuchtet den Begriff, das Konzept, das Phänomen sowie die Praxis der Arbeit in Bezug auf nichtmenschliche Tiere. Es geht um die Arbeit von Tieren, mit Tieren und für Tiere, z.B. als Subsistenzarbeit, Lohnarbeit, Erwerbsarbeit, Fronarbeit, Sklavenarbeit, Gastarbeit, Mitarbeit, emotionale Arbeit, entfremdete Arbeit, Kollaboration, Charity- oder Care-Arbeit.Tiere produzieren für sich selbst und für andere. Sie sind instinktiv, gezwungenermaßen oder freiwillig tätig, um ihren Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten oder um von Menschen eine Lebensberechtigung zugesprochen zu bekommen. Die meisten Säugetiere arbeiten in der Landwirtschaft, im Transportwesen, im Medizinsektor, in der Unterhaltungsindustrie, bei der Polizei, beim Militär oder in Privathaushalten. Manche Tiere steigern durch ihre bloße Anwesenheit menschliche Produktivität, z.B. wenn sie im Klassenzimmer oder Büro zur Verbesserung des Arbeitsklimas eingesetzt werden.Dennoch existiert die Auffassung, dass Tiere nicht wirklich arbeiten. Tierliche Tätigkeit und Produktion werden selten als Dienst, Leistung oder Werk gewürdigt, weil ihnen vorgeblich keine bewusste Überlegung vorangeht. Tiere werden vielmehr oft als Kapital betrachtet bzw. als auszubeutende Ressourcen. Allein dadurch sind sie untrennbar in die Abläufe einer kapitalistisch verfassten Welt eingebunden.Die Beiträge beschäftigen sich u.a. mit streikenden Eseln, der Rolle von Jagd- und Gesellschaftshunden im Mittelalter, mit Bibern als Ökosystemingenieur*innen, Fürsorge in der Tiermedizin, dem Arbeitsbegriff in verschiedenen Reitweisen, Cochenilleschildläusen als Arbeiter*innen, der Poetisierung der Arbeitsleistung von Tieren in der Kinderliteratur und der Betrachtung sogenannter Nutztiere im Kunstunterricht. In künstlerischen Beiträgen werden tierliche Fürsorgearbeit im Krieg, eine Spürhundestaffel in Malawi und eine Aktualisierung des Kommunistischen Manifests für Tiere vorgestellt, aber auch die Werkzeuge, mit denen sogenannten Nutztieren zu Leibe gerückt wird.Mit wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen von Martin Bartelmus, Charlotte E. Blattner / Leonie M. Bossert, Marc Bubeck / Anna K. E. Schneider, Kendra Coulter, Martin Gabriel, Fabian Holzinger, Marcello Pocai, Alix Ricau, Oliver Schnoor, Tom Ullrich / Anne Heimerl und Simone Wagner.Mit künstlerischen Beiträgen von Marta Bogdańska, Julia Gunther, Terike Haapoja und Timo Stammberger.
