In Animal Rites, Cary Wolfe examines contemporary notions of humanism
and ethics by reconstructing a little known but crucial underground
tradition of theorizing the animal from Wittgenstein, Cavell, and
Lyotard to Lévinas, Derrida, Žižek, Maturana, and Varela. Through
detailed readings of how discourses of race, sexuality, colonialism,
and animality interact in twentieth-century American culture, Wolfe
explores what it means, in theory and critical practice, to take
seriously "the question of the animal."
