Essay investigates biosemiosic gaze and interspecific compassion in Tesson's work, highlighting ethical implications.
Adopting a Derridean approach, this essay investigates the force of the biosemiosic gaze of the “wholly other” in Sylvain Tesson’s “Les porcs.” Derrida’s and Tesson’s extension of Levinasian ethics open the door to interspecific compassion through the deconstruction of anthropocentric arguments barring other species from admission into the moral community.
