The most recent issue of the journal Environmmental Philosophy is a special issue called "species of thought" and in addition to pertinent main articles on a range of human/animal relations (including those with yellowjackets, wolves, and bears--I highly recommend Jacob Metcalf's "Intimacy without Proximity: Encountering Grizzlies as a Companion Species"), there is a review of Haraway's When Species Meet and a review of an anthology that surveys animal ethics from a continental perspecitve by Matthew Calarco:  Zoographies: The Question of the Animal from Heidegger to Derrida. You can find the table of contents here:

I also suggest Val Plumwood's classic "Being Prey" (easily googlable); and her recent (I believe post-humously published), "Animals and Ecology: Toward a Better Integration" (also available on line). The latter is a very good supplement to the more "classic" feminist and ecofeminist theorizing on animals by Adams, Gruen, Cuomo, Kheel, et. al., because Plumwood is very much inside these decades-long debates, in that she agrees that dominant practices of eating and using animals represent acts of mastery that are tied to gender domination/subordination, but argues interestingly for a third position not represented by what she calls "ontological veganism"--the idea that we must always abstain from using animals lest we unjustifyably instrumentalize them-- articulating instead a position she calls "ecological animalism" in which we can at least conceive of animals (including the human animal!) as food sometimes, but never as "just" food.

Hope this helps.

Subject: animal liberation ethics/phenomenology

Hi all,
In addition to Singer, can Feast-ers send references for essays on animal liberation, animals and ethics--i know there was a book on animals and existentialist-phenomenological perspectives but it had been on loan and I forgot the title. This is for a student writing a paper in a second-year level "society and ethics" class.

thanks in advance!
