Knowing Animals, Moving Animals
Human societies often come to know the natural world by examining animals, even as animals, frequently both willful and animate, elude human grasps and challenge human aims. Animals and their movements have underpinned many methodological, moral, and epistemic dilemmas. Featuring a range of geographies, species, languages, and cultures, the articles in this volume broaden the view of the roles animals play in knowledge production processes. Organ…
On the Scene of Zoonotic Intimacies
COVID-19, like HIV/AIDS before it, is being allegorized as a cost of perverse intimacies with nature. This essay surveys three scenes of intimate zoonotic exchange—the jungle, the wet market, and the pork plant—and maps how each contributes to the operation of racial capitalism
No Scrubs: Livestock Breeding, Eugenics, and the State in the Early Twentieth-Century United States
On June 27, 1925, the citizens of Markle, Indiana, put a bull on trial for crimes against the herd. Approximately 1,200 spectators from Huntington, Uniondale, and the surrounding countryside flooded into Markle for the trial. F. H. Bowers, a local attorney, promised the bull a robust defense, but the jury convicted. Judge Abram Simmons handed down a sentence of death, and, with that, the bull was summarily executed. The funeral oration delivered …
How Meat Changed Sex
The article explores the history and structure of American laws criminalizing sexual contact between humans and animals to demonstrate how the ecological conditions of late capitalism are remaking sexual taxonomies, practices, and identities. It notes that the majority of these statutes have been enacted within the past three decades and most contain language that explicitly exempts animal husbandry and veterinary medicine from prosecution. The a…
Queering the Countryside: New Frontiers in Rural Queer Studies
Choice Outstanding Academic Title of 2016 Rural queer experience is often hidden or ignored, and presumed to be alienating, lacking, and incomplete without connections to a gay culture that exists in an urban elsewhere. Queering the Countryside offers the first comprehensive look at queer desires found in rural America from a genuinely multi-disciplinary perspective. This collection of original essays confronts the assumption that queer desires d…
Beyond the Fruited Plain: Food and Agriculture in U.S. Literature, 1850–1905Global Appetites: American Power and the Literature of Food
The recent popularity of literature about food and farming has produced an explosion of what might be generously termed lazy agrarianism or, less generously, organic fertilizer. This agrarianism features a mushy conflation of terms in service of a Manichean view of agriculture: local, organic, sustainable, and alternative versus global, industrial, unsustainable, and capitalist. It then transposes the former cluster of good characteristics onto a…
A Race Suicide among the Hogs: The Biopolitics of Pork in the United States, 1865-1930
The article examines meat agriculture as a site for the production of knowledge about gender, race, and sexuality that spanned human and nonhuman animals. Livestock breeders and commentators alike parsed animal bodies for their susceptibility and resistance to "race suicide," a popular early twentieth-century concept that, when applied to humans, signaled concern that white middle-class reproduction and masculine vigor were faltering. Race suicid…
