Sinembargo, las investigaciones relacionadas con el maltrato animal y víctimas nohumanas han sido poco exploradas desde esta perspectiva, cuyos aportesacadémicos sobre esta problemática siguen siendo escasos. La crueldad hacía losanimales no humanos es un fenómeno presente alrededor del mundo, el cual secaracteriza por llevarse a cabo de manera intencionada, así como también por labrutalidad con la que se ejerce. Por medio de una revisión documental, en esteartículo se plantean puntos de reflexión en torno a la relevancia de la criminologíaal momento de ahondar en aquellas conductas que generan víctimas nohumanas a través de espectáculos que funcionan como entretenimiento del serhumano, así como también en el no reconocimiento académico y legal de actosde crueldad que son cometidos por individuos que coadyuban entre sí paraejercer el daño. Los denominados deportes de sangre son actividadesorganizadas, caracterizadas por el derramamiento de sangre, las cualesinvolucran combates entre animales no humanos como entretenimiento. Desdela perspectiva criminológica verde, el uso de animales no humanos en actoscrueles como diversión se considera una conducta criminal y especista, conindependencia de su tipificación legal. La criminología verde debería abogar porel reconocimiento académico y legal de las víctimas no humanas, así comoindagar en el papel que tiene el Estado al permitir el sufrimiento animal a travésde la acción u omisión por parte de la legislación y de las autoridades.Comprender las motivaciones que existen tras estas actividades resultaindispensable para que la criminología verde pueda proponer medidaspreventivas concretas para la disminución y/o erradicación de este fenómenocriminal.","PeriodicalId":482928,"journal":{"name":"Animal Ethics Review","volume":"65 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

La homogamia (característicacompartida entre cónyuges) se presenta como una herramienta clave en loscasos de las mujeres veganas, lo que posibilita la revolución simbólica (Bourdieu2008) que se traduce en el reconocimiento ético de los animales no humanos yel rechazo a la virilidad carnívora en el plano sexual. Las mujeres veganosexualesentrevistadas por Potts, White y Parry devienen sexualmente legibles a sí mismasmediante el proceso del “nominalismo dinámico” (Hacking 1999), paralelamenteal proceso del “coming out” (Weeks 2016). En paralelo, la veganosexualidad seenfrenta con la masculinidad hegemónica vehiculada mediante el carnismo (Joy2013), al que se adhieren mayoritariamente los hombres homo y heterosexuales.Se reflexiona sobre la escasa politización actual de la veganosexualidad, que no laposiciona en la vía del cambio social, si no que la relega a una postura ética en elconsumo no carnista. En contraste, el veganismo se encuentra politizado en granparte gracias al feminismo, y para ciertas mujeres lesbianas, la veganosexualidadrepresenta una zona de seguridad.","PeriodicalId":482928,"journal":{"name":"Animal Ethics Review","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These include: the centring of thebeyond-human interests of nonhuman animals through ethical veganargumentation and the simultaneous decentring and invalidating of the humaninterests in exploiting them; the exposing of the oppressive reality of animalproducts for the affected nonhuman animals, in opposition to the connectedindustries’ efforts to manufacture the public’s understanding of animal productproduction; the eroding of the discriminatory, otherising human/animaldichotomy through the championing of shared animality between humans andother animals and the decentring of human-supremacist judgements to thecontrary; and an intersectional analysis of nonhuman and human oppressionswhich recognises their common ideological source under the inherentlyoppressive system of capitalism. Several potential anthropocentric or otherwisecounterproductive pitfalls of each recommended discourse strategy are alsoconsidered. In providing said critical exploration, the author hopes to havesupported the case for veganism’s indispensable contribution to opposing theinterconnected nonhuman and human oppressions of Western societies, andelucidated some key ways in which vegan advocates can enact this potential.","PeriodicalId":482928,"journal":{"name":"Animal Ethics Review","volume":"227 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141386914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Have you met any of theseindividuals? Do you understand their life experiences? There is an immenselyintertwined linkage between ecology and language. Namely, “how humans treateach other and the natural world is influenced by our thoughts, concepts, ideas,ideologies and world-views” (Stibbe 2021, 2). Which are actively shaped andperpetuated by language. So what do we mean when we use the phrase “invasivealien species”? Languages and discourses have been exploited to perpetuateinequalities, hidden in our everyday communication “of unlimited economicgrowth as the main goal of society” (Stibbe 2021, 3). Theorised by critical discourseanalyst Teun Van Dijk (2006, 139), ideologies are often “mapped onto discourse”,typically “expressed in terms of their own underlying structures”, such as thefrequent use of “us” and “the others”. This paper is guided by the perspective ofcritical animal and media studies, which insists the vitalness of revelation of hownonhuman animals are communicated. It explores the phenomena of “invasivespecies management” from three areas: (i) discourse-adaptation which helps tojustify this on-going act; (ii) the main beneficiaries of such conduct; and (iii) ethicalconcerns for such human intervention. The aim is to investigate the justifiedcruelty that is majorly overlooked, and purposely hidden by mainstreaminformation sources, searching for a fuller picture of the reality of “invasive speciesmanagement”.","PeriodicalId":482928,"journal":{"name":"Animal Ethics Review","volume":"62 S10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
