“So eager to get into the food chain” : Exploring agency in the representation of farm animals
Original language description
Language as a form of social practice plays a significant role in the sustainment of power relations, dominance and inequality between different groups of people (Fairclough 2001, 2003). Studies in the field of eco-linguistics (Stibbe 2001, 2012) have stressed that language practice also reflects and at the same time reinforces human attitude towards other species, enhancing the destructive behavior we often display towards them. The way animals are represented in language helps construe their social identity as inferior, object-like entities, which is crucial in manufacturing human consent to the cruel treatment of animals in the contemporary society (Stibbe 2012). In addition, language is commonly used to downplay, obscure or justify direct human involvement in – and thus responsibility for – animal suffering and death inherent in the institution of intensive farming (ibid.).
