Abstract

The title of this essay points to two sets of interrelated diffi culties.1 Those in the fi rst set arise chronically from our individual psychologically complex and often ambivalent relations to animals. The second set refl ects the intellectually and ideologically crisscrossed connections among the various discourses currently concerned with those relations, including the movement for animal rights, ecological ethics, posthumanist theory, and such fi elds as primatology and evolutionary psychology. I begin with some general observations on kin and kinds—that is, relations and classifi cations—and then turn to the increasingly complex play of claims and counterclaims regarding the so-called species barrier.

动物亲戚，困难的关系

这篇文章的题目指出了两组相互关联的困难第一种是我们与动物之间复杂而矛盾的个人心理关系。第二组反映了目前与这些关系有关的各种话语之间在智力和意识形态上的交叉联系，包括动物权利运动、生态伦理学、后人类主义理论，以及灵长类动物学和进化心理学等领域。我从一些关于亲缘关系和种类的一般性观察开始——也就是关系和分类——然后转向关于所谓物种屏障的越来越复杂的主张和反诉。

期刊介绍： differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
