EnCownter
Ensaio Pré-selecionado de Sébastien Vaucher
Sacred or slaves, free or food chain element, cows are fascinating for those who take time to pay attention and tame them. Body language, facial expressions and eye contacts, are just a few of the communication channels available. The present “encoWnters” series is a succession of winks through which I am proposing the observer to feel compassion and take a opportunity to get in touch with “divine”, the soul animating these amazing creatures. What does it mean to encounter an animal? Encounters are regularly summoned in animal studies, but rarely subject to conceptual scrutiny. Encounters might be considered a particular genre of contact that bring categories of difference into view as well as their simultaneous undoing. Human- animal encounters have been framed as key sites of transformative potential that have the capacity to rupture and disturb, awe and delight. As a crucial site of intervention and manipulation, human-animal encounters raise important questions about power, privilege, and violence.
