Abstract

This article offers a queer lesbian feminist analysis attuned to lesbian-queer-trans-canine relationalities. Specifically, the article places queer and lesbian ecofeminism in conversation with Donna Haraway's work on the cyborg and companion species to theorize the interconnected queer becomings of people, nature, animals, and machines amidst ecologies of love and violence in the 2020s. It takes two key case studies as the focus for analysis: first, the state instrumentalization of dogs and robot dogs for racialized and imperial violence, and second, quotidian queer and lesbian-dog relationalities and becomings. In the first, the article traces how dogs are weaponized as tools of state violence and proposes a queer lesbian feminist critique of white supremacy and militarization that can also extend to a critique of the violence committed through and toward the dogs. In the second, the article analyzes how, within lesbian, non-binary, and trans-dog intimacies, dogs help articulate queer gender, sexuality, and kinship formations, and as such, queer worlds for gender, sexual, and kin becomings. The entanglements of violence and love in these queer dog relationalities provide insights into the complexities of queer and lesbian feminist worldbuilding. Lesbian and queer feminist cyborg politics can help theorize the potentials and challenges of these interspecies entanglements.

酷儿犬的蜕变:女同性恋女权主义者半机械人政治和物种间的亲密关系在爱与暴力的生态。
这篇文章提供了一种针对女同性恋-女同性恋-跨犬关系的女同性恋女权主义分析。具体来说,这篇文章将同性恋生态女权主义与Donna Haraway关于电子人及其伴侣物种的工作进行了对话,以理论化21世纪20年代在爱与暴力的生态环境中,人、自然、动物和机器相互关联的同性恋成为。它以两个关键案例作为分析的重点:第一,狗和机器狗的国家工具化,用于种族化和帝国暴力;第二,日常的同性恋和女同性恋狗的关系和成为。在第一篇文章中,文章追溯了狗是如何被武器化为国家暴力的工具,并提出了一种酷儿女同性恋女权主义者对白人至上主义和军事化的批评,这种批评也可以延伸到对通过狗和对狗犯下的暴力的批评。第二部分,文章分析了在女同性恋、非双性恋和跨性狗的亲密关系中,狗是如何帮助表达酷儿性别、性行为和亲属关系的形成的,因此,酷儿世界的性别、性和亲属关系是如何形成的。在这些酷儿狗的关系中,暴力和爱的纠缠提供了对酷儿和女同性恋女权主义世界建设复杂性的见解。女同性恋和酷儿女权主义的半机械人政治有助于将这些物种间纠缠的潜力和挑战理论化。
