Abstract

In her article, Marzena Kubisz examines representations of veganism in the context of debates about the ways to counteract the degradation of the natural environment while claiming that veganism is used instrumentally in the discourse of the Anthropocene, which, in turn, leads to a marginalization of animal suffering. By referring to Donata Marfiak and Jerzy Rey’s book entitled Mamo, tato – dlaczego nie jemy zwierząt? Czyli o tym, jak dzieci ratują świat [Mummy, Daddy, Why Don’t We Eat Animals? Or the Way Children Save the World] Kubisz demonstrates that one of the areas in which the connection between veganism, animal welfare and environmental care is foregrounded in a way which stresses the co-dependency and communality of all living organisms is vegan literature for children.
