Western thought since Aristotle has by and large responded to this question by defining the human as</FONT><I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202> animal rationale</FONT></I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202>: a definition that saw its heyday during the Enlightenment, when reason was believed to herald human sovereignty: freedom from the gods and control over the world of objects. Implicitly challenging such long-standing conceptions, much recent scholarly work on the phenomenology of embodiment has instead emphasised our inextricable dependence on the world outside ourselves. Judith Butler, for example, argues in her latest book,</FONT><I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202> Frames of War</FONT></I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202> (Verso 2009), that the human body "is exposed to others, vulnerable by definition" and, as such, "must rely on what is outside itself." This fundamental dependence on exteriority shatters any illusions of human sovereignty, freedom or control: "To live is always to live a life that is at risk from the outset and can be put at risk or expunged quite suddenly from the outside and for reasons that are not always under one's control." To be human, in this conception, is thus not so much to be</FONT><I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202> animal rationale</FONT></I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202> as</FONT><I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202> animal vulnerabilis</FONT></I><FONT class=Apple-style-span color=#020202>.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></B></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

How does this risk manifest itself and how do we respond to it? Or, perhaps more simply, how do we live with our own vulnerability? A decade into the new millennium, we are arguably more than ever forced to front up to these questions. Instead of having confidently conquered, domesticated and made serviceable our worldly domain, we are daily reminded of our dependence on that domain for survival. Whether it is the global economic crisis, or the deepening ecological crisis and its various recent disasters (Haiti, Samoa, New Orleans, to name but a few): we are exposed and vulnerable to forces beyond our control and typically respond to such exposure and vulnerability with fear. Clambering for full body armor (metaphorical as well as actual), we go into battle against a wide range of real or imagined threats: illness, pollution, terrorists, killer flu viruses, alien invasions. Listening to daily news reports about "homeland security" and food safety, not to mention campaigns to save the environment or, more ambitiously, the planet, we do everything we can to keep (some) humans safe. Problematically, however, this fixation on our own safety tends to come at a cost, and this cost is the growing violence against even more vulnerable "others": Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, the MS Tampa Affair, the Northern Territory Intervention and the Urewera Raids are only a few of the growing list of proper names that call up scenes of unspeakable violence against humans at their most vulnerable.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></B></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
