Abstract

The emergence of interdisciplinary animal studies during recent decades challenges sociologists to critically reflect upon anthropocentric ontology and to paint a more comprehensive picture of the social. This article focuses on the recent emergence of the sociology of climate change during the last twenty years, with a warning that it may have proceeded without critical interrogation of residual humanism evidenced by the exclusion of nonhuman animals. The inclusion of these nonhuman animals in the discussion of human/animal relations is vital in the societal discourse of climate change. After surveying key texts and leading journal literature, it is clear that this discussion of human/animal relations is lacking or altogether omitted. It is then worth considering how animalized environmental sociology could contribute to redefining the discipline of sociology as a whole.

气候变化社会学中的非人类动物在哪里?

近几十年来，跨学科动物研究的出现，要求社会学家批判性地反思以人类为中心的本体论，并描绘一幅更全面的社会图景。这篇文章聚焦于最近20年中出现的气候变化社会学，并警告说，它可能在没有对非人类动物被排斥所证明的残余人文主义进行批判性质疑的情况下进行。在气候变化的社会话语中，将这些非人类动物纳入人类/动物关系的讨论至关重要。在调查了关键文本和主流期刊文献后，很明显，这种对人与动物关系的讨论是缺乏或完全省略的。因此，值得考虑的是，动物化的环境社会学如何有助于重新定义整个社会学学科。

期刊介绍： Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism). The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
