Do I disappoint you in just being human...?
- Rufus Wainwright
Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast
of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them
to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever
Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
The Old Testament
The animal is a word, it is an appellation that men
have instituted, a name they have given themselves
the right, and the authority, to give to another living
creature.
Jacques Derrida
The term animot... as well as being a homonym
for animaux... can be thought of as marking an animal
invasion of the word (mot) in which animal otherness
animates language... An animot is an animalistic kind
of word, and a linguistic kind of animal, attributing
animation, even agency, to language.
