This paper is based on the eco-pedagogical aspiration to live with domesticated animals in accordance with Alphonso Lingis's Community of those who have nothing in common. I draw upon this remarkable text as well as Lingis's animal writings in describing moments and movements of pathic community. Such a community in affective affiliation with one another, where symbiotic relations are possible and bodily kinships are exercised, exemplifies what is possible in more rational human communities where domesticating impulses seek to harness the vital powers of coconstitutive life. Of telling significance are predatory threats, the manner in which they appear, and the protectionist responses they occasion. By recasting these threats and responses in terms of motional affordances, it may well be possible to move with non-human creatures, both literally and figuratively, beyond the anthropocentric confines of domestication. Animals with whom we appear to have nothing specifically, or in species terms, in common can show us how to cultivate more pathic communities of our own kind.

重要力量：培育小动物社区

本文基于阿方索·林吉斯（Alphonso Lingis）的“没有共同之处的人的社区”中与家养动物一起生活的生态教学愿望。我借鉴了这一非凡的文字以及林吉斯的动物著作来描述可悲社区的时刻和运动。这样的社区彼此之间有情感联系，在这里可能存在共生关系，并行使身体亲属关系，这说明了在更理性的人类社区中可能发生的事情，在这些社区中，归化冲动试图利用同性生活的重要力量。掠夺性威胁，它们的出现方式以及所引起的贸易保护主义反应具有说服力。通过用运动能力的方式重塑这些威胁和反应，很可能会与非人类生物一起移动，无论是字面意义上还是比喻意义上，都超出了以人类为中心的驯化范围。我们似乎与之没有任何特定或物种共同意义的动物，可以向我们展示如何培养更多同类型的可悲社区。
