Intelligence, Affirmative Ethics and the Anti-fascist Life
Affirmative ethics, as a collective and radically democratic praxis, must be constructed by subjects who collectively defy unity and actualise a virtual heterogeneous assemblage, while retaining ethical accountability. The composition of an ethically active subjectivity is achieved by transcending the force of the negative and by acknowledging and reworking reactive emotions such as pain, anger, greed and fear. It entails working through negative…
On the Emergence and Convergence of the New Transversal Humanities

Women Migrants From East to West
Based on the oral histories of eighty migrant women and thirty additional interviews with ‘native’ women in the ‘receiving’ countries, this volume documents the contemporary phenomenon of the feminisation of migration through an exploration of the lives of women, who have moved from Bulgaria and Hungary to Italy and the Netherlands. It assumes migrants to be active subjects, creating possibilities and taking decisions in their own lives, as well …
Posthuman neo-materialisms and affirmation
The Virtual as Affirmative Praxis
This chapter addresses the resonances between the concept of the virtual and a material philosophy of life, based on heterogeneity, hybridity, and becoming. It outlines the basic tenet of this materialist philosophy and explores its implications, in relation to the notions of difference and becoming. It, also, highlights the importance of an ethics of affirmation, which may balance the creative potential of critical thought with a dose of negativ…
Virginia Woolf, Immanence and Ontological Pacifism
In these times of pandemics, increasing social inequalities, civic unrest and the rise of illiberalism, populism, anti-European Union politics and the ‘fake news’ ideology, it is important to revisit Woolf’s pacifism and anti-war and anti-fascist activism. Woolf’s writing offers a mode of understanding emotional economies of despair at this moment of the posthuman convergence and reworking these negative passions into the building blocks of a sus…

Introduction
“We” Are In This Together, But We Are Not One and the Same
The COVID-19 pandemic is a man-made disaster, caused by undue interference in the ecological balance and the lives of multiple species. Paradoxically, the contagion has resulted in increased use of technology and digital mediation, as well as enhanced hopes for vaccines and biomedical solutions. It has thereby intensified humans’ reliance on the very high-tech economy of cognitive capitalism that caused the problems in the first place. This combi…
Humanidades Posthumanas
Este artículo compara notas sobre diferentes y nuevos conceptos de "lo Humano", desarrollados ambos hacia el interior de la investigación científica académica, tanto disciplinaria como interdisciplinaria, y en las prácticas sociales más amplias. El foco principal está en la relación cambiante entre las "dos culturas" de las humanidades y la ciencia a la luz de los desarrollos contemporáneos, como las sofisticadas formas de investigación interdisc…
The Posthumanities in an Era of Unexpected Consequences
The posthumanities constitute an affirmative, expanded development of the traditional humanities embedded within the posthuman convergence. Numerous changes impel recognition of wider forms and constituents of conditions no longer nameable simply as human, also implying mature relations to technology and science. The posthuman condition - in fields as diverse as military strategy, health, education and machine learning - brings entities and proce…
A Theoretical Framework for the Critical Posthumanities
What are the parameters that define a posthuman knowing subject, her scientific credibility and ethical accountability? Taking the posthumanities as an emergent field of enquiry based on the convergence of posthumanism and post-anthropocentrism, I argue that posthuman knowledge claims go beyond the critiques of the universalist image of 'Man' and of human exceptionalism. The conceptual foundation I envisage for the critical posthumanities is a ne…
Feminist Posthumanities
Affirmative Ethics, Posthuman Subjectivity, and Intimate Scholarship
In this conversation, renowned critical posthuman scholar Rosi Braidotti offers insights regarding what the posthuman turn means for intimate scholarship and broader questions of subjectivity. She discusses the methodological challenge of post-anthropocentrism for the humanities and stresses the need to move to a process ontology, which entails a non-essentialistic understanding of subjects as in process and connected up to networks of human and …
Posthuman Critical Theory
This article argues the case for posthuman critical theory within the context of the Anthropocene, as both the convergence of posthumanist and postanthropocentric discourses and their development in a qualitatively new and more complex direction. By adopting a cartographic approach to the posthuman, the article surveys recent scholarly production in the field and argues for the need to rethink subjectivity as a collective assemblage that encompas…
Our Times Are Always Out of Joint
Rosi Braidotti is a philosopher and distinguished university professor at Utrecht University and the founding director of the Centre for the Humanities in Utrecht. Her first book, Patterns of Dissonance (1991), undertook the balancing act of connecting the redefinition of the feminine in post-Hegelian philosophy with the demand for feminist subjectivity. For Braidotti, becoming-woman is a qualitative multiplicity that simultaneously unfolds other…
Critical Posthuman Knowledges
What are the parameters that define posthuman knowing subjects and their ethical accountability? This essay outlines a framework by which to understand the emerging field of the critical posthumanities. It proposes as the field's conceptual foundation a neo-Spinozist monistic ontology that assumes radical immanence, as well as a mind-body and nature-culture continuum. This implies that the posthuman knowing subject has to be understood as a relat…

This article situates the geological turn in media theory within the critical posthumanities, defining them in both quantitative and qualitative terms. They can be assessed quantitatively by reviewing the proliferation of interdisciplinary “studies” areas—such as media and gender studies—that have transformed the modes of knowledge production within the academic humanities and beyond. They are framed qualitatively by the neomaterialist, vital phi…
Posthuman Affirmative Politics
Biopolitical thought is based on the notion of bodies and how they are negotiated within a political framework. Considering the body as a multispecies ecosystem, in the biopolitical sense, is inherently paradoxical and problematic; when the body is an ecology, it may lead to a leveling in which all living parts deserve equal consideration. As advocated by biopolitical scholar Roberto Esposito: The strength of the biopolitical perspective resides …

Posthuman, All Too Human
This article looks at Donna Haraway's work in the light of Continental philosophy, and especially post-structuralism, and examines both the post-humanist and the post-anthropocentric aspects of her thought. The article argues that the great contribution of Haraway's work is the re-grounding of the subject in material practice. This neo-foundationalist approach is combined, however, with a firm commitment to a process ontology that looks at subjec…
In Spite of the Times
This article explores the so-called 'postsecular' turn from two different but intersecting angles. The first part of the argument offers a reasoned cartography of the postsecular discourses, both in general and within feminist theory. The former includes the impact of extremism on all monotheistic religions in a global context of neo-conservative politics and perpetual war. The context of international violence has dire consequences for the socia…
Becoming Woman
This article revisits Irigaray's theory of sexual difference in the light of more contemporary developments in terms of nomadic becomings and non-unitary subjectivity, especially in Deleuze. It defends the notion of embodied materiality on philosophical grounds, by linking it to the issues of power, access, hegemony and exclusion, which are central to post-structuralism. Through a detailed analysis of the sexual politics of difference feminism, t…

Writing as a Nomadic Subject
My lifelong engagement in the project of nomadic subjectivity has been partly motivated by the conviction that, in these globalized times of accelerating technologically mediated changes, many traditional points of reference and age-old habits of thought are being re-composed, albeit in contradictory ways.Paradoxically, old power relations are not only confirmed but in many ways exacerbated in the new geo-political context. 2 At such a time more …
Embodiment, Sexual Difference, and the Nomadic Subject
This article deals with sexual difference as a philosophy of subjectivity which, however inspired by poststructuralism, was further developed by feminists. The main features of this philosophy are outlined both in terms of its style and of its vision of woman as subject. The notion of ‘difference’ is analyzed in details, as the central concept that sustains the feminist nomadic philosophy of a subject that is both complex and situated, politicall…

In response to Dick Pels's critical remarks, this article attempts to contextualize, historically and conceptually, some of the main points of poststructuralist philosophies of subjectivity. Special emphasis is placed on outlining and defending the political relevance of the `linguistic turn', especially of the kind of interventions upon language which poststructuralism and deconstruction are so often criticized for. Throughout this article, ampl…

Affirmation, Pain and Empowerment
Feminist theory, not unlike mainstream social theory, has taken an 'ethical turn' in the frame of a globalized world that has seen a sharp increase in structural injustices, flows of migration and perennial warfare. This historical context intensifies but also re-structures the traditional terms of the ethical debate about the role of the other in the constitution of the self and the moral imperative to contain and be responsible to and for the o…

Afterword
This afterword deals with the scientific and social status of the concepts of complexity, materialism, and difference in relation to the process of subject formation. It pays special attention to the historical context of advanced capitalism and the extent to which it has altered our understanding of notions and practices of embodiment and interrelationality. It discusses issues of biopower on the one hand and new forms of vital politics on the o…

Body-images and the pornography of representation
In this paper, I would l ike to (try and) take some of the issues involved in the medicalization of the female reproductive body and situate them within the area of contemporar y feminist theories of subjectivity. This problem-area refers to the project of enacting and theorizing an alternative female subjectivity and of finding adequate forms of representation for it
