“I am in mourning for life on Earth”

Judith Butler’s contributions to philosophy and politics have become one of the most fruitful spores in contemporary thought. Engaging with a wide range of critical thinking, they open a source to many of those who speak from the resistance to the norm. This article aims at introducing an antispeciecist reading of their major contributions to epistemology, ontology and ethics, namely through the concepts of frame, precariousness and grievability, with a special focus on their conception of the body. These ideas are discussed from the perspective of a possibility: that of taking Butler’s proposal beyond the human. The reflection shows that they do open interesting paths for antispeciecist philosophy, while some of its implications are not free of difficulty.
