Through a rigorous but cogent analysis, Deckha calls for replacing the exploitative property classification for animals with a new transformative legal status or subjectivity called \"beingness.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn developing a new legal subjectivity for animals, one oriented toward respecting animals for who they are rather than their proximity to idealized versions of humanness, \u003ci\u003eAnimals as Legal Beings\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to bring critical animal theorizations and animal law closer together. Throughout, Deckha draws upon the feminist animal care tradition, as well as feminist theories of embodiment and relationality, postcolonial theory, and critical animal studies. Her argument is critical of the liberal legal view of animals and directed at a legal subjectivity for animals attentive to their embodied vulnerability, and desirous of an animal-friendly cultural shift in the core foundations of anthropocentric legal systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheoretically informed yet accessibly presented, \u003ci\u003eAnimals as Legal Beings \u003c\/i\u003emakes a significant contribution to an array of interdisciplinary debates and is an innovative and astute argument for a meaningful more-than-human turn in law and policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 04, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50874054148402,"sku":"9781487525873","price":71.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/1608\/0946\/files\/zPOREiGoTW9781487525873.webp?v=1769601563","url":"https:\/\/deskinlawfirm.com\/products\/animals-as-legal-beings-contesting-anthropocentric-legal-orders-paperback","provider":"DLF Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
