ABSTRACT

This article outlines a political theory of interspecies mobility justice that examines why and how mobility justice should be extended to non-sapien persons. Interspecies mobility justice considers how some species’ freedom to move and dwell impinges and relies upon others’ diminished mobilities and displacement, and sets out to illuminate better relations among differentially mobile species. Integrating theories of mobility justice and interspecies justice, I argue mobility justice requires citizenship for domesticated animals, denizenship for liminal animals (those adapted to humans without being under their care) and sovereignty for wild animals. To flesh out these three assemblages of interspecies mobility justice, I present analytical vignettes that relate ethnographic observations of people cycling with dogs, crows and orcas to research on animals’ mobilities, evolutionary cognition and field observations from urban naturalists. These vignettes clarify moral obligations of interspecies mobility justice using dogs, crows and orcas as paradigmatic case studies. The article concludes by discussing the need to further develop interspecies mobility justice by including non-animal persons.

摘要

本文概述了种间迁移司法的政治理论，探讨了为什么以及如何将迁移司法扩展到非智障人士。种间迁徙正义考虑了某些物种的迁徙和居住自由如何影响和依赖其他物种的迁徙和迁徙减少，并着手阐明不同迁徙物种之间的更好关系。我将流动性正义和种间正义的理论融为一体，我认为流动性正义需要驯养动物的公民身份，对边沿动物（那些无需照料的适​​应人类的动物）的公民身份和对野生动物的主权。为了充实这三种物种间流动性正义的组合，我提出了分析小插曲，这些小插曲将人种学方面的观察与骑狗的人联系起来，乌鸦和逆戟鲸研究动物运动能力，进化认知和城市博物学家的实地观察。这些小插曲阐明了以狗，乌鸦和逆戟鲸为范例案例研究的种间流动性正义的道德义务。本文最后讨论了通过包括非动物在内的人进一步发展种间迁徙正义的必要性。
