Rethinking Death and Mourning
Posthumanism in Practice
"Posthumanism disrupts many of the assumptions that underly traditional humanist thinking. This thinking has profoundly shaped how we see ourselves, our place in the world and impacts how we treat said world. It was generally accepted that we, as humans, are easily defined as special, standing apart from animals, plants, and microbiota. These kinds of assumptions, both consciously and unconsciously, underpin scientific investigation, arts practic…
Deleuzian traces: The self of the polyp
More Posthuman Glossary
The notion of the posthuman continues to both intrigue and confuse, not least because of the huge number of ideas, theories and figures associated with this term. More Posthuman Glossary provides a way in to the dizzying array of posthuman concepts, providing vivid accounts of emerging terms. It is much more than a series of definitions, however, in that it seeks to imagine and predict what new terms might come into being as this exciting field c…
Pandemicity and Subjectivity: The posthumanist vulnerability of the zoe/geo/techno framed subject
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented global disruptions, including a fundamental alteration to how humans exist. In this paper, we argue that the disruptions brought forth by the pandemic have provided us with a new perspective that allows us to better understand the various entanglements that are constitutive of the beings we are, but that also render us fundamentally vulnerable. Grounded in a posthumanist material feminist position, w…
Vibrant Death: A Posthuman Phenomenology of Mourning
Vibrant Death links philosophy and poetry-based, corpo-affectively grounded knowledge seeking. It offers a radically new materialist theory of death, critically moving the philosophical argument beyond Christian and secular-mechanistic understandings. The book’s ethico-political figuration of vibrant death is shaped through a pluriversal conversation between Deleuzean philosophy, neo-vitalist materialism and the spiritual materialism of decolonia…
From Deleuze and Guattari to Posthumanism: Philosophies of Immanence
"Uncovering the theoretical and creative interconnections between posthumanism and philosophies of immanence, this volume explores the influence of the philosophy of immanence on posthuman theory; the varied reworkings of immanence for the nonhuman turn; and the new pathways for critical thinking created by the combination of these monumental discourses. With the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari serving as a vibrant node of immanen…

Introducing Interconnections / Voici Interconnexions
In December 2015, a group of researchers at Brock University launched the Posthumanism Research Institute to provide an interdisciplinary networking hub for individuals interested in posthumanist theory. One of the goals of the founding group was to establish a peer-reviewed, international, open-access, online, bilingual, and interdisciplinary journal. We are proud to present you with the inaugural issue of Interconnections/Interconnexions. En dé…
Can Existentialism Be a Posthumanism: Beauvoir as Precursor to Material Feminism
In this article, I demonstrate that Simone de Beauvoir’s philosophy represents a first major step toward a rejection of the humanist subject and therefore was influential for the development of contemporary posthumanist material feminism. Specifically, her unprecedented attention to embodiment and biology, in The Second Sex and other works, as well as her notion of ambiguity, serve to challenge the humanist subject. While I am not claiming that B…
Forest futures: Biopolitics, purity, and extinction in Europe’s last ‘pristine’ forest
This article examines how the ideological and material aspects of ‘purity’ play out in the environmental conflict in the Białowieża Forest that took place in Poland in 2017. I consider how ‘purity’ informs not only environmental politics but also organizes biopolitical regimes that normalize the hegemonic understanding of nation, identity, and gender. In the context of environmental change and species extinction, I pick up on Foucault’s reflectio…
Posthuman Sustainability: An Ethos for our Anthropocenic Future
Confronted with an unprecedented scale of human-induced environmental crisis, there is a need for new modes of theorizing that would abandon human exceptionalism and anthropocentrism and instead focus on developing environmentally ethical projects suitable for our times. In this paper, we offer an anti-anthropocentric project of an ethos for living in the Anthropocene. We develop it through revisiting the notion of sustainability in order to prob…
Authenticity and Distantiation from Oneself: An Ethico-Political Problem
Authenticity and Distantiation from Oneself: An Ethico-Political Problem Christine Daigle (bio) Scholars have often taken Foucault by his words and insisted that his philosophy is completely at odds and opposed to Sartre’s—and Beauvoir’s—existentialism. However, it is my contention that Foucault’s own appreciation and intense critique of existentialist philosophy stems from a series of misunderstandings with regards to the notions of the subject,…
The Nietzschean Virtue of Authenticity: “Wie man wird, was man ist.”
Angelus Novus Looks to the Future. On the Anti-Humanism which Overcomes Nothingness
She brings together research within the domains of contemporary philosophy, feminist theory, and posthumanism, in an effort to re-think the concepts of the subject, community, and collaboration in the times
A Quest for Feminist Space and Time
This article offers an investigation of practical and political aspects of new materialism on the basis of texts accepted for publication in Women: A Cultural Review. The authors emphasize various political strategies that appear in the collected essays; above all they stress the practical aspects of theory itself. Theory as praxis is a concept inspired by contemporary philosophers such as Georges Canguilhem, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and D…
Jean-Paul Sartre
Nietzsche: Virtue Ethics. . . Virtue Politics?
Aristotelian notion of megalopsychia found in Nicomachean Ethics and the figure of the Ubermensch. I will approach this connection in a variety of ways in the first section of my essay and will show how we must go beyond Kaufmann. If one chooses to dismiss the connection between Aristotle’s and Nietzsche’s ethics, as I will do, this does not mean that Nietzsche’s ethics cannot be read as an instance of virtue ethics. In the second section, I will…
