DESCRIPTION:Dr. Marcy Norton\, Associate Professor\, Department of History\
 , University of Pennsylvania\n\n \n\nAlmost every day a new scientific rep
 ort demonstrates that nonhuman animals are thinking\, feeling\, even talki
 ng subjects who share many capacities with humans and exceed them in other
 s. The question I pose in my talk is what has made this kind of knowledge 
 obvious to Indigenous groups for centuries? And why has this understanding
  been so difficult for Europeans and settler colonists to apprehend until 
 recently?  I suggest that deeply rooted livestock practices have shaped We
 stern views of animals more deeply and profoundly than any philosophical o
 r religious tradition. And\, focusing on early modern Amazonia and Mexico\
 , I will show how traditional Indigenous ways of being with animals—or r
 ather “modes of interaction” —center the shared subjectivity of all 
 kinds of animals. Moreover\, these Indigenous modes may have played a role
  in the Western shift towards recognizing animal subjectivity more widely.
