Keith Tester Book order (chronological)
Keith Tester's sociological work primarily explores the intricate entanglement of culture and morality. He raises thought-provoking questions about how contemporary media's awareness of global suffering shapes our actions and what this knowledge truly signifies for us. Drawing on critical theory and the social thought of Zygmunt Bauman, his research investigates whether the culture industries predetermine our understanding and responses. His engagement with culture also extends to publications on film and art.
Animals and Society uses a variety of historical sources and a coherent social theory to tell the story of the invention of animal rights. It moves from incidents like the medieval execution of pigs to a discussion of the politics and strategies of modern rights organisations. The book also presents radical interpretations of nineteenth-century animal welfare laws and the accounts of the Noble Savage. The insights generated by social science are always at the core of the discussion. This wide-ranging and accessible book provides a fascinating account of the relations between humans and animals. It raises far-reaching questions about the philosophy, history, and politics of animal rights.
