About the Book

Robert Briggs lays out an original interpretation of Derrida's work which takes the question of the animal beyond the critique of political and philosophical anthropocentrism. Eschewing approaches grounded in animal vulnerability, Briggs reviews theories of power, politics and culture in terms of their capacity to enable novel images of zoopolitics. Along the way he engages with recently translated work in the emerging field of philosophical ethology, including Vinciane Despret's 'What Would Animals Say If We Asked the Right Questions?' (2016) and Dominique Lestel's empirical and constructivist phenomenology of human-animal relations. Through these and other interventions, Briggs departs from well-established positions in animal studies to develop new ways of thinking animal politics today.

About the Author :
Robert Briggs is Senior Lecturer in the School of Media, Creative Arts & Social Inquiry at Curtin University, Australia. He has published extensively on poststructuralist thought in relation to questions of ethics, culture and technology and is a contributing author to Niall Lucy’s A Dictionary of Postmodernism (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016) and Claire Colebrook’s Jacques Derrida: Key Concepts (Routledge, 2015).

Review :
The Animal To Come recasts Derrida’s reflections on the animal question in terms of institutionality and zoopolitics rather than an expanded ethics. This book makes an original and substantial contribution to the field, deepening our sense of what is at stake in deconstructing ‘the animal’. Sure-footed and eminently readable, this book invites the reader into an effortless and elegant account of politics as is dramatically revalued by deconstruction, biopolitics and animal studies. In so doing this pellucid zoopolitical hauntology offers a singular invocation of its titular animal-to-come, providing an essential contribution to the field. The Animal-to-Come is an inspired work of Animal Philosophy. Briggs offers not only a profoundly original intervention into the question of the animal, but a decisive and compelling reorientation of the field of deconstructive animal studies, the effects of which will be felt for years to come.
