We recommend this anti-bullfighting book that has faced some pressure against its publication. If you are sensitive to the plight of "fighting" bulls in Europe and Latin America, you might find it interesting:

La propuesta del volumen es clara: el lenguaje no solo refleja desigualdades, sino que puede reforzarlas. Reconocer esto es el primer paso para transformarlo y construir discursos más éticos.

UPF-Center for Animal Ethics @upf-cae.bsky.social · Sep 5

¿Por qué es relevante? Porque, como señala Catia Faria y quienes le acompañan, el especismo no está solo en prácticas explícitas materiales, sino también en nuestras elecciones lingüísticas cotidianas. Y eso tiene consecuencias reales para los animales no humanos.

UPF-Center for Animal Ethics @upf-cae.bsky.social · Sep 5

¿Qué encontrarás en este libro? Capítulos como Especismo y capitalismo, Especismo y racismo, Lenguaje especista y experimentación, o Especismo y derecho, entre muchos otros. Se trata de un compendio diverso y riguroso que aborda el tema desde múltiples perspectivas.

UPF-Center for Animal Ethics @upf-cae.bsky.social · Sep 5

El volumen se organiza en cuatro bloques:
1️⃣Especismo, supremacismos y lenguaje
2️⃣Lenguaje especista y explotación animal
3️⃣Lenguaje especista y naturaleza
4️⃣Lenguaje especista y cultura

UPF-Center for Animal Ethics @upf-cae.bsky.social · Sep 5

🧐Este libro presenta una reflexión profunda sobre cómo el lenguaje contribuye a perpetuar el especismo: desde estructuras patriarcales o capitalistas hasta discursos específicos de la caza o modismos populares.

¡Hoy traemos más buenas noticias!

📔El libro Especismo y lenguaje, coordinado por Catia Faria y Núria Almiron, ya está disponible en acceso abierto
