Abstract:In this essay I demonstrate that the theme or trope of clothing is, in Plato, not just some rhetorical embellishment of the dialogues but an essential element in Plato's understanding of the relationship between the human, who is in need of the supplement of clothing, and the animal, who is not.

Abstract:This essay takes both a theoretical and autoethnographic approach: utilizing Levinas and Derrida alongside the true story of my singular relationship with a wild animal, this essay attempts to demonstrate not only the multiplicity of differences between human and nonhuman animals more generally, but specifically and by way of example, the contextual politics developed in and through a singular animal and human relationship.

Abstract:Honeybees, it has been argued, live in democratic colonies. This essay proposes six theses concerning honeybee politics, arguing that a thoughtful investigation of honeybee communication, anarchic decision-making, and conceptions of community challenges us to embrace a radical reconceptualization, and perhaps rejection, of "the political" in general.

Abstract:One of the many ways in which the difference between humans and animals has been theorized is by way of point of view. We may amass any amount of knowledge about a creature and yet never come close to experiencing their world. Rather than questioning this distinction between human and animal, I argue that it applies to relations among humans.

Abstract:Animalistic rhetoric is often used to discredit and criminalize political activists. While such dehumanization is embedded within a history of racially-motivated oppression and certainly calls for a reassertion of humanity, I ultimately argue that viewing animals as apolitical forecloses rich possibilities for political resistance.
