Join the Center for Feminist Research (CFR) in collaboration with the Theory Today Working Group for a virtual conversation with feminist and q***r theory scholar, Naisargi Dave on her new book, Indifference: On the Praxis of Interspecies, which explores the complex worlds of animalists and animalism in India.
Naisargi Dave’s research interests emerge from forms of intra- and interspecies ethics, politics, and relationality in contemporary India. Dave’s latest award-winning book, Indifference: On the Praxis of Interspecies Being (Duke 2023), examines the complex worlds of animalists and animalism in India. Moving across animal shelters and dairy farms to city streets and abattoirs, she shows how human-animal relations manifest through care and violence, but also, crucially, an ethic of indifference— that is, an orientation of mutual regard rather than curiosity, love, desire, or animus. Indifference was awarded the 2024 Gregory Bateson Prize by the Society for Cultural Anthropology, 2nd Prize for the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing by the Society for Humanistic Anthropology, and Honorable Mention for the Ruth Benedict Prize from the Association for Q***r Anthropology. Dave’s previous book, Q***r Activism in India: A Story in the Anthropology of Ethics (Duke 2012) examines the relationship between q***r desires and q***r political formations.
