So much mutual life (women and animal precariousness)

ABSTRACT

From the beginning of neoliberalism until the recent neoliberal precarity as democratized normality (Lorey, 2016), the precarious life points to a new form of the female body and its agency capacity. Thus, in Um sopro de vida (Pulsações) by Clarice Lispector and La mujer de los perros by Laura Citarella & Verónica Llinás, the emergence of this mode of precarious life is defined by exposure and vulnerability. But these materials also have to do with formal questioning of the anthropocentric assumptions regarding the notion of precarious life, and more specifically, questioning of the hierarchies between bodies and live forms. That is why the physical, affective and existential environment that is shared with the rest of the living (that human and canine in-between bodies/in-between things which outline others epistemologies), allow us to postulate the notion of non-human precarity or in other terms what G. Giorgi (2016) designates in terms of animal precarity.
