Abstract

In this interview, Chloë Taylor evaluates the role, significance, and future of Michel Foucault's thought within the field of animal studies. According to Taylor, although Foucault previously remained a marginal thinker regarding the question of the animal, today, with the expanding understanding of politics, society, and history, Foucauldian analyses of power can be successfully applied to non-human animal relations. She expresses that in the future of the question of the animal, the Foucauldian genealogical approach could play a vital role in deconstructing the concept of “species,” a concept which has gone unquestioned for a long time in critical animal studies, as a social and political construct.

Özet

Bu söyleşide Chloë Taylor, Michel Foucault’nun hayvan çalışmaları alanındaki yerini, önemini ve geleceğini değerlendirmektedir. Taylor’a göre Foucault daha önceleri hayvan sorusu için marjinal bir düşünür olarak kalsa da günümüzde siyaset, toplum ve tarih algısının genişlemesiyle Foucaultcu iktidar analizleri insan-olmayan hayvan ilişkilerine başarıyla uygulanabilmektedir. Hayvan sorusunun geleceğinde, Foucaultcu soykütüksel yaklaşımın, eleştirel hayvan çalışmalarında bugüne kadar yeterince sorgulanmamış olan “tür” kavramının toplumsal ve siyasal bir inşa olarak çözümlenmesinde hayati bir rol oynayabileceğini ifade eder.
