“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian”: i confini invisibili del carnismo, fra negazione e ostentazione

Abstract

RIASSUNTO: La grande maggioranza degli esseri umani considera normale, naturale e necessario il mangiare carne (carnismo). Tuttavia, vi è una dissonanza cognitiva fra questa abitudine e la consapevolezza che ad essa corrisponde la morte di un animale. Per questo, in una forma di negazione, si tende a nascondere dietro confini invisibili i luoghi dove avvengono le uccisioni. Anche se rappresentano solo una piccola minoranza, coloro che si oppongono allo sfruttamento degli animali a scopo alimentare (i vegani), sono, per vari motivi, spesso mal tollerati, tanto che, nei loro confronti, si manifesta un atteggiamento di opposizione, rivendicando il diritto di mangiare carne (“new carnivorism”). La carne viene così ad essere ostentata come simbolo identitario, anche se ciò rischia di demarcare altri, invisibili, ma difficilmente superabili, confini culturali.

The vast majority of human beings consider eating meat to be normal, natural and necessary (carnism). However, there is a cognitive dissonance between this habit and the awareness that it corresponds to the death of an animal. This is why, in a form of denial, there is a tendency to hide behind invisible boundaries the places where the killings take place. Although they represent only a small minority, those who oppose the exploitation of animals for food (vegans) are, for various reasons, often badly tolerated, so much so that an attitude of opposition manifests itself towards them, claiming the right to eat meat (“new carnivorism”). Meat is thus flaunted as a symbol of identity, even if this is likely to demarcate other boundaries, invisible but very difficult to overcome.
