چکیده
In this article, I explore questions of laboratory animal agency in dialogue with Thalia Field’s literary text “Experimental Animals: A Reality Fiction” (2016). Using the framework “care” (understood, following María Puig de la Bellacasa 2017, as a multi-dimensional concept comprising affect, ethics, and practice), consider how synaesthetic descriptions suffering create an affective response readers, alerting them to shared carnal vulnerability. Indeed, rather than anthropomorphizing animals through narration or focalization, Field “stays body” call us not experimental objects, but ethical subjects, they become – other words agents description (Stewart 2016). To develop idea, introduce “practiced” dimension care. More specifically, uses narrative strategies like first-person second-person address, “bridge characters” (James 2019), juxtaposition morally structure encourage “transspecies alliances” between readers represented animals. argue that such devices direct train allowing better appreciate conceptions nonhuman are always contextualized within particular sets social, cultural, historical, disciplinary frames practices.
