Resumen
En el cruce de estudios animales y estudios decoloniales, se ha patentado la urgencia de abordar los modos en que la dicotomía jerárquica humano/no-humano ha operado como central de la Modernidad colonial. Este trabajo reconstruye la procedencia colonial del antiespecismo, recurriendo a análisis sobre los paradigmas dicotómicos de la Modernidad. A partir de ese recorrido, se sugiere que el proyecto colonial ha implementado la animalización como táctica política para trazar fronteras entre las vidas que importan y las vidas que no, distribuyéndolas en una escala piramidal. Por ello, desarrollamos una lectura crítica hacia las analogías racistas del antiespecismo colonial y blanco como una forma de resaltar la necesidad de reposicionar el antiespecismo como apuesta conceptual inseparable de la decolonialidad (y del antirracismo). A través de esta propuesta, sugerimos una vía de doble sentido: la decolonialidad debería comprometerse con el fin del especismo, fruto de la razón blanca occidental criticada por el giro decolonial, y el antiespecismo también debería comprometerse con la decolonialidad.
At the crossovers of animal studies and decolonial studies, the urgency of addressing the ways in which the human/nonhuman hierarchical dichotomy has operated as central to colonial Modernity has been patented. This article reconstructs the colonial origin of anti-speciesism, resorting to the analysis of the dichotomous paradigms of Modernity. Then, it is suggested that the colonial project has implemented animalization as a political tactic to draw borders between the lives that matter and the lives that do not, distributing them on a pyramidal scale. For this reason, we develop a critical reading of the racist analogies of colonial and white anti-speciesisms as a way of highlighting the need to reposition anti-speciesism as a conceptual commitment inseparable from decoloniality (and anti-racism). Following the conceptual path in question, we end up suggesting a two-way street: decoloniality should be committed to the end of speciesism, the result of white Western reason criticized for the decolonial turn, and antispeciesism should also be committed to decoloniality.
