ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on animal-centred organisations that operate based on the interrelationship between human and animal agencies. The empirical part develops an original case – hunting with hounds in France – that goes beyond hunting: It is also a performance that takes place outdoors in public woodlands and has organisational support. Our results show that: (1) the animal’s contribution to the organisation is based not on its resistance but on the uncertainty resulting from the interrelationship between human and animal agencies; (2) animal agency is neither simply a material agency that would compare animals to passive objects nor equivalent to human agency but an agency that the human confers on the animal in various ways depending on the type of animal (deer, dogs, horse) and its role in the organisation; (3) organisational settings, not species, define animal agency and, more specifically, animals’ ways of contributing to uncertainty in the organisation.

摘要

本文重点关注以人为中心和动物机构之间的相互关系为基础的以动物为中心的组织。经验部分发展了一个原始案例–在法国用猎犬狩猎–超出了狩猎范围：这也是在公共林地户外进行的表演，并得到了组织的支持。我们的结果表明：（1）动物对组织的贡献不是基于其抵抗，而是基于人与动物机构之间相互关系所产生的不确定性；（2）动物机构不仅是将动物与被动物体进行比较的物质机构，也不是等同于人类机构的动物机构，而是人类根据动物（鹿，狗，马）的类型以各种方式赋予动物的机构，以及在组织中的作用；（3）组织设置，
