Lo que ve el animal

This article attempts to explore and extend Etienne Bimbenet’s discontinuist intuition about the animal, positioning it within some traditional debates of contemporary French thought. By involving Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze, and Derrida, it aims to show the ethical and political consequences of the human-animal relationship and the risks posed by the use of antispeciesist tools in understanding this difference with the animal. Finally, the need to give credence to a discontinuist disposition will be demonstrated through a visual example that makes clear the danger of new and invisible forms of violence underlying any attempt to appropriate the vision of the animal.
