Care in a Time of Anthropogenic Problems: Experiences from Sanctuary-Making in Rural Denmark
(2023) In Critical Animal Studies 6. p.97-116- Abstract
- This chapter examines the embodied and situated practices of care in the context of farmed animal sanctuaries in rural Denmark. In approaching care as an “ethical doing,” as suggested by María Puig de la Bellacasa, this chapter asks what kind of alternative images of multispecies life might emerge from sanctuary caregiving in a time of anthropogenic problems? In documenting the difficult task of providing life-long care for animals bred for profit within normative structures embedded in industrial production, the analysis highlights sanctuary caregiving as a disruptive site for rethinking ethics and politics beyond the nature-culture dichotomy.
