Simons, John. “The Longest Revolution: Cultural Studies After Speciesism.” Environmental Values 6, no. 4 (1997): 483–97. doi:10.3197/096327197776679031.
This article is a provisional exploration of the field of cultural studies from a committed animal rights perspective. It argues that cultural studies will need to be reformed in response to increasing public concern about animal welfare issues and the growth of environmental consciousness. A number of critical readings of literary texts are employed to exemplify how this reformation might manifest itself in practice. It includes a review and critique of some current work in the field and suggests that cultural theory is presently unable to respond fully to the place of animals in cultural production.
