Deixadas para morrer: sobre búfalas, desinformação e especismo estrutural by Fabio Alves Gomes de Oliveira, Érica Quadros do Amaral

“…Como metodologia, adotamos a revisão bibliográfica, correlacionando o arcabouço teórico dos saberes da Ciência da Informação, Estudos Críticos Animalistas, Ecofeminismos e análise do mencionado caso paradigmático por meio de relatos divulgados pela mídia para apuração da complexa trama que chamamos de “paradoxo da opressão”, envolvendo o movimento de ativismo em defesa da causa animal, a mídia e o agronegócio. Nossas considerações finais nos direcionam ao entendimento do especismo estrutural como um problema de ordem informacional por ser produto de estratégias de desinformação e desempenhar o papel de provimento do senso comum, produção de ignorância e manutenção de estruturas de poder que asseguram sua própria existência como um modo de opressão que impacta animais não humanos e humanos…”
