Judith Butler

“The point would be to rethink the relationality of life regularly covered over by typologies that distinguish forms of life. In such a relationality, I would include concepts of interdependency, and not only those among living human creatures—for human creatures living somewhere, requiring soil and water for the continuation of life, are also living in a world where non-human creatures’ claim to life clearly overlaps with the human claim, and where non-humans and humans are also sometimes quite dependent on one another for life. Those overlapping zones of life (or living) have to be thought as both relational and processual, but also, each of them, as requiring conditions for the safeguarding of life.”
