Elements of ethology for a critical anthrozoology
Keywords:
Anthropocentrism, anthrozoology, ethology, exceptionalism.Abstract
We develop a conversion of the description of human-animal relationships from the explanations generated by ethology, to describe them in terms of behavioral coordination. We suggest calling this approach critical anthrozology, and we propose it as a non-anthropo-exceptionalist scheme. We suggest that the understanding / explanation of the link, in the current state of anthropization of our planet, is achieved more by the position of each entity in the communicational network that it stars, than by its species.
