Ethics and the non-human: The matterings of animal sentience in the meat industry
Ethics and the non-human: The matterings of animal sentience in the meat industry
This chapter considers ethics and the non-human in the empirical context of animal production and meat processing. There exists a long-standing interest within non-representational theory in non-human agency (Thrift 1996), influenced at its outset by among others the work of sociologist of science and technology, Bruno Latour. As Thrift writes on Latour’s work:
[This] has meant a concern with a ‘new classification of things’ (Latour 1993) in which the bounds between the subject and the object become less easily drawn, … because the things we have conventionally depicted as objects, for example machines, are allowed into the realm of action and the actor (Thrift 1996, 2).

Abstract
This chapter considers ethics and the non-human in the empirical context of animal production and meat processing. There exists a long-standing interest within non-representational theory in non-human agency (Thrift 1996), influenced at its outset by among others the work of sociologist of science and technology, Bruno Latour. As Thrift writes on Latour’s work:
[This] has meant a concern with a ‘new classification of things’ (Latour 1993) in which the bounds between the subject and the object become less easily drawn, … because the things we have conventionally depicted as objects, for example machines, are allowed into the realm of action and the actor (Thrift 1996, 2).
