How Things Exceed Their Relations: Toward an Object-Oriented Symbiosis
Metacritic Journal for Comparative Studies and Theory is an open-access, peer-review, online publication for academic research, published twice a year by the Faculty of Letters, Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj, Romania.
Introduction: Deconstruction and Twenty-First Century Thought, Part 1: The New Realisms
Passionate encounters: Alphonso Lingis on community, alterity, and politics
This article explores the underexamined political dimensions of Alphonso Lingis’ philosophy, with a focus on his understanding of community, alterity, and passion as a possibility for political action. I show how Lingis’ work departs from liberal individualism in order to emphasize “community” as a condition for political engagement rooted in the ethical imperative evoked by the singularity and suffering of others. I then present a speculative ac…
Alphonso Lingis and the question of the animal
This paper analyzes Alphonso Lingis’ contributions to the ongoing philosophical debate on the “question of the animal.” It situates Lingis’ philosophy of the animal within what Matthew Calarco calls the “indistinction” approach, a framework that transcends traditional binary distinctions between humans and animals. It also explores how Lingis’ philosophy challenges anthropocentrism by proposing a novel ontology of life that emphasizes the shared …

Object-Oriented Animals: Towards a Theory of Animality in OOO
In Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO), an apparent tension arises between his pursuit of a self-proclaimed “new theory of everything,” or general ontology, and his assertion that any ontology must be able to account for distinctions among various regions of being. This paper delves into this tension between universality and specificity, particularly concerning the question of animal ontology, and examines the potential for constructin…
Assessing the Impact of Role Play Simulations on Learning in Canadian and US Classrooms
Several scholars have begun to assess the benefits of role play simulations in the university classroom. This study provides a model to assess the effectiveness of active learning exercises on student engagement and learning. The paper describes role play simulations related to climate change negotiations run in four courses at two universities in the United States and Canada, identifies the learning outcomes, and aligns them with four knowledge …
Identity Trans/formations
The tension between identification and separation, the opposing functions of identity, profoundly influences the ways that scholars understand and study identity. Identities can be shared or disputed, accepted or rejected, hidden or transformed. In this review, I discuss theories of identity in communication studies, examining identity as cultural text, impression management, cultural enactment, language acts, and boundary management. I offer an …
