Abstract:This article intervenes in the schism between animal studies and scholarship on race, fields reliant upon analogies between racial and species violence. While animal studies deploys slavery as an analogy for animal rights, scholarship on slavery often regards the animal as an analogy for dehumanization. Moving beyond analogy, this article uses the contemporary narrative of slavery as an entrance into entangled thinking about race and species. Reading Charles Johnson’s Oxherding Tale (1982) and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987), I argue that the contemporary narrative of slavery permits a relation between race and species that returns to the material site of the linkage between these categories.

像动物一样：新奴隶小说中的非人类类型

摘要：本文介入了动物研究和种族研究之间的分歧，这些领域依赖于种族暴力和物种暴力之间的类比。虽然动物研究将奴隶制用作动物权利的类比，但关于奴隶制的学术研究通常将动物视为非人化的类比。超越类比，本文使用奴隶制的当代叙事作为对种族和物种的纠缠思考的入口。阅读 Charles Johnson 的 Oxherding Tale (1982) 和 Toni Morrison 的 Beloved (1987)，我认为当代奴隶制叙事允许种族和物种之间的关系返回到这些类别之间联系的物质场所。
