Fidélité à plus d’une langue
It is twenty years since Jacques Derrida’s passing. This commemorative piece mixes personal memories of encounters with emphasizing a major theme within the Derridean corpus, namely ‘fidelity’, or, to be more precise, the impossible fidelity to the more than and no longer one (plus d’un) that Derrida used to give as a (risky) definition of deconstruction. This plurilingual creation playfully explores the ways in which the idea of a fidelity to mo…
Verbesserung… oder Posthumanismus ›jenseits‹ von Gewalt
This article questions the logic of human self-transcendence and enhancement that underlies all forms of humanism, including transhumanism, as well as the role technology is supposed to play in »improving« human nature and overcoming aggression, violence and self-destruction. It argues, instead, that a critical posthumanist stance has to undertake the deconstruction of the very notion of perfectibility as well as the purely instrumental understan…
Palgrave Handbook of Critical Posthumanism
This handbook surveys and speculates on the ways in which the posthumanist paradigm emerged, transformed, and might further develop across the humanities.

Critical Posthumanism, Again
This is a short statement invited by the editors. It doesn't warrant an abstract
Posthuman/ist Literature? Don DeLillo’s Point Omega and Zero K
Posthumanist literature—question mark. The question mark in the title gestures towards the conundrum that something like posthumanist literature might well be a contradiction in terms. This essay discusses the connection between posthumanism, the posthuman, and posthumanisation, on the one hand, and literature, the literary and post-literary (or the survival of literature), on the other hand. It differentiates between a literature of the posthuma…
Posthumanist Education
Critical proximity
This article explores the relationship between critical distance and the idea of proximity. In times that are often described as ‘global’, ‘24/7’, ‘connected’, ‘networked’ and ‘immersive’, distance seems ever reduced and proximity omnipresent. The contemporary impression of ubiquitous proximity might constitute a threat to the survival of critical distance understood either as a cornerstone of enlightened and humanist critical practice or as a ke…

Posthumanism
What does it mean to be human today? The answer to this question, which is as old as the human species itself, is becoming less and less certain. Current technological developments increasingly erode our traditional humanist reflexes: consciousness, emotion, language, intelligence, morality, humour, mortality - all these no longer demonstrate the unique character and value of human existence. Instead, the spectre of the 'posthuman' is now being w…

What is a posthumanist reading
Do we like this word, “annihilating”?1 The claim we are making is very simple. It is possible to read “texts,” in the widest sense attributed to this word by poststructuralism, through the way they
Returning (to) Communities
Returning (to) Communities offers an innovative collection of examples and case studies into what has become a hotly disputed topic. The chapters present a wide-ranging series of interventions into the new debates over the concepts and practices of “community” and the communal. For this book, scholars have been gathered from across Europe and Australia as well as from the United States, and several contributors are involved in community practice.…
