@hugouys@zirk.usDear Void… just an #introduction 
I’m Hugo, a #philosophy and #law #gradstudent at #Stellenbosch Uni in South Africa. Currently working on my LLM thesis in the #legalphilosophy of #animallaw. Broadly, my research draws on #decolonial theory, #criticalanimalstudies , #ecofeminism , and #posthumanism to displace #anthropocentrism as a quasi-transcendental limit of legal discourse.
Other interests include #psychoanalysis #queertheory #litfic #poetry #architecture
Uhm yeah, see y’all around 
@hugouys Sounds awesome! Welcome. What books on critical animal theory would you recommend?
@kupaye thank you! I’ve found all of Matthew Calarco’s books to be really clear and helpful introductions to get an overview and understanding of different theorists’ positions. I think ‘Thinking Through Animals’ (2015) is really excellent to get an overall sense of the field, and the different strands of thinking within CAS — also it’s >100 pages so it’s super accessible and not a huge time commitment!
@hugouys Thank you! Downloaded
