Journal Article
Tense Animals: On Other Species of Pastoral Power
2011
Overview
Shukin catalyzes discussion of the ways biopolitical thought is prone to generating concepts-pastoral power, \"bare life:' and so on--that displace animals from the material stakes of the discussion even as they metaphorically summon them. He begins by briefly parsing his formulation of pastoral power to suggest that he avoids examining how it functions as a discourse of species. Despite his commitment to specificity; Michel Foucault overlooks how this form of power blatantly traffics in similarities and differences across the government of humans and of animals. He talks about Anand Pandian's \"anthropology of biopolitics\" for a model of how Foucault's genealogy of pastoral power can be pluralized through the development of alternate, postcolonial genealogies involving actual practices of animal stewardship.
