摘要

摘要本文认为,战后加拿大对犬科动物的扑杀运动具有显著的情感维度。根据20世纪50年代和60年代努纳维克、阿尔伯塔和安大略省犬科动物管理的例子,我们认为,杀死被认为患有狂犬病的狗和野生犬科动物主要是出于情感过度和情绪管理。这些动物的野性被认为会导致过度的非人类情感,而狂犬病似乎加剧了这种情感。人类与这些动物的接触以过度的情感反应为特征,这是长期以来对狂犬病的恐惧、对北方的焦虑和殖民者殖民主义背景下的“文明”主张的结果。这种恐惧随后被引导到对犬科动物的围捕和杀戮中。莫尼克·舍尔(Monique Scheer)称杀戮是一种“情感实践”,旨在缓解焦虑、净化心灵、教化文明。利用档案和其他文献资料,我们的目标是展示在更充分地探索情感和动物历史之间的交叉点的价值。

Animals, Affect and Annihilation: Campaigns against Canids in Postwar Canada
Abstract This essay suggests that culling campaigns against canids in postwar Canada have striking affective dimensions. Drawing on examples of canid management in the 1950s and 60s from Nunavik, Alberta, and Ontario, we contend that the killing of supposedly rabid dogs and wild canids was predominantly about affective excess and emotional management. The wildness of these animals was perceived to lead to excessive nonhuman affectivity, which was seemingly exacerbated by rabies. Human encounters with these animals were characterised by excessive affective responses, a result of long-standing fears of rabies, anxieties about northernness and assertions of ‘civilisation’ in the context of settler colonialism. This fear was then channelled into round ups and killings of canids. The killing was what Monique Scheer calls an ‘emotional practice’ designed to soothe anxieties, to cleanse and to civilise. Drawing on archival and other documentary sources, we aim to show the value in exploring more fully the intersections between affect and animal histories.
