Animal sociality beyond the hetero/homo binary

Abstract

In this essay for a special issue of Women & Performance, I hope to showcase the ways in which unique animal formations (swarms for example) can and do offer alternative modes of sociality to human animals who are too focused upon singularity and privacy. I also try to break with the framing of animal sex within assumptions about human sexuality and I ultimately show that a non-sentimentalized, non-mystified, anti-idealizing relation to animals that nonetheless remains open to knowledge forms that come from animals can offer humans a way in to animal ecologies.
