Rendering's modern logics -- Automobility : the animal capital of cars, films, and abattoirs -- Telemobility : telecommunication's animal currencies -- Biomobility : calculating kinship in an era of pandemic speculation
Summary
The juxtaposition of biopolitical critique and animal studiestwo subjects seldom theorized togethersignals the double-edged intervention of Animal Capital. Nicole Shukin pursues a resolutely materialist engagement with the "question of the animal," challenging the philosophical idealism that has dogged the question by tracing how the politics of capital and of animal life impinge on one another in market cultures of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries
