INTERVISTE / 1 / a cura di Giovanni Aloi /
Since the very beginning, rethinking human/animal relations has entailed reconsidering epistemology, ontology, and ethics. Along the way, on this ambitious journey, contemporary art has constantly provided invaluable opportunities to push disciplinary boundaries and test philosophical notions to breaking point. Twenty years later, so much has happened in Animal Studies and much more has changed in contemporary art and philosophical discourse. Giovanni Aloi, Editor in Chief of «Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture» interviews Cary Wolfe on the current state of affairs of Animal Studies, posthumanism, and the arts. Over the past ten years, Wolfe has distinguished himself as one of the most influential voices in posthumanist philosophical discourses. What’s left to say? What’s not been said? And what lies ahead for contemporary art and animal studies as speculative realism brings another wave of radical, ontological revisionism?
