SANTOS DIVINO, Sthéfano Bruno  and  SILVEIRA MARTINS, Yasmin. Subjectivity of non-human animals in "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2021, n.51, pp.193-207.  Epub Mar 29, 2021. ISSN 1886-5887.

This article presents an interpretation of the subjectivity of non-human animals in George Orwell's The Animal Farm. The first section dissects the classical political and juridical interpretation of the Orwellian work and resumes it under the precepts of the critical theory of law and presents the process of emancipation of the subject of law as a component of juridical grammar. The second section presents a fractioned part of interspecies recognition through subjectivity to consider non-human animals as the center of the imputation of the legal system. The deductive method and the integrated research method are used for the present reasoning.

Keywords : Non-human animals; law; George Orwell; literature; animal farm; subjectivity.
