Subvertir le human gaze

“The animal, having no grave site, no bodily burial, becomes its own memorial.”

Angela SIGNER, citée dans BAKER, Steve (2013), Artist|Animal, Minneapolis : University of Minnesota Press, p. 169.

Angela Singer, Thorn, 2004.

“The practices that lead to the suffering and death of other animals are practices that, in addition to causing pain and ending life, also render those lives meaningless. Developing counter-practices of mourning can help make those lives and, importantly, our relationships to those lives who are now gone, intelligible.” GRUEN, Lori (2014). ''Facing Death and Practicing Grief'', dans Carol J. Adams et Lori Gruen (ed.), Ecofeminism : Feminist Intersections with Other Animals & the Earth, New York : Bloomsbury, p. 137.
