Abstract: Introduction.While much of human-animal studies concerns the question of the human-animal border (how it is both maintained and dissolved, how it might be challenged or re-imagined, what are its ethics and its politics), a difficulty surrounds the question of where this question can be asked from.Much of Donna Haraway's recent work, for example, addresses the ethics of situation -exploring not only what are the questions to be asked, but how are they situated, and the politics of their location.Haraway begins her most extended consideration of this question to date, When Species Meet (2008), with a reading of Derrida's influential essay "The Animal That Therefore I am (More to Follow)" ( 2002), in which Derrida reflects upon an encounter in which, naked in his bathroom, he engages with his cat.The questions Haraway asks in this instance concern the meaning of both situated knowledges and responsive thinkingin other words, the hows, the wheres, and the whos of the "animal question," as well as its "whats."
