Quando as espécies se encontram: uma introdução

O livro de Donna Haraway, When Species Meet, foi uma das apostas mais inovadoras no campo dos estudos animais e dos estudos feministas. Na introdução, a autora analisa as interações entre os humanos e um vasto número de criaturas, especialmente aquelas designadas como domésticas. Dos animais de estimação concebidos em laboratório para os animais treinados como companheiros terapêuticos, esta peça pergunta-se pelos aspectos filosóficos, culturais e biológicos dos encontros humano-animal. O ensaio propõe o conceito de espécies de companhia como uma ferramenta para a criação de narrativas que reconhecem os seres de outras espécies como presenças significativas, junto com as quais os seres humanos co-evoluem e co-habitam um espaço comum. Esta conceituação procura posicionar-se para além das ideias que pregam a excepcionalidade humana. Surge, assim, a pergunta pelas possibilidades de uma ética inter-espécie que permita o florescimento de seres humanos e animais e desenvolva o conceito de “devir-com” como a noção fundamental para se referir à relacionalidade constituinte dos encontros humano- animal. Ao analisar esse elo, a autora se detém diante das dificuldades que constituem esses encontros, suas complexidades, complicações e o modo como nos enfrentam com posições assimétricas de poder.
