POSTHUMANIST LITERARY IMAGINATION
The project examines through case-studies analyses the way in which literary representations of subjectivity uniquely illustrate and body forth questions pertaining to the de-centering of the human and the logic of the anthropocentric metaphysics.
POSTHUMANIST LITERARY IMAGINATION
The project aims at exploring new theoretical approaches to posthumanism and tracing new avenues for future research on posthumanism as it touches upon topics such as subjectivity, hermeneutics, and literary imagination.
POSTHUMAN
PROJECT OUTLINE
POSTHUMANIST LITERARY IMAGINATION
The POSTHUMAN project aims at exploring the ways in which posthumanist literary imagination contributes to a critical awareness of the limits of traditional anthropocentric and humanistic assumptions, thus radically challenging boundaries between the human and the non-human, the self and the other, the organic and the technological. By providing a post-dualistic and a non-hierarchical standpoint to reflect upon issues such as subjectivity, otherness, and ethics, such a multi-layered posthumanist approach offers a re-thinking of far-reaching debates on the future of humanism. Conducting case-study analyses of paradigmatic literary works (namely: J. M. Coetzee, W. Szymborska, F. Ponge, A. F. Alexandre, M. G. Llansol, J. de Sena), the present project significantly departs from previous scholarship, in that it values literature’s seminality in these debates and hopes to reflect upon alternative and emergent scenarios of the human, the nonhuman, or the posthuman.
