(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Austin, Patrycja
“Coloniality, Ontology, and the Question of the Posthuman” (2018) is a part of the “Routledge Research in New Postcolonialisms” series. The essays in this volume, edited and introduced by Mark Jackson, all answer the question of whether and how postcolonialism and posthumanism meet and inform one another in their response to contemporary debates around the Anthropocene, refugee crisis, environmental collapse or indigenous worldviews.

Whose land is it, really? And whose story? Hosting human and non-human refugees in Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2024-12) Austin, Patrycja
The word hospitality includes the sense of hostility and a reciprocal exchange among equals. The accelerating human and non-human migrations caused by climate change call for a reclaiming of that complexity. Historically, the stranger, the barbarian, was the one deprived of the logos, the one not operating the language of the political centre. If, however, following Merleau-Ponty, the logos becomes the property of the living world, then it is not the human who can offer hospitality to other human and non-human strangers, but they all become guests in the living world with varying degrees of agency. Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island explores the complexity of the notion of the host and the barbarian, questioning the Western belief in the primacy of human logos. It is shown both in the plot line and in the form of the novel which re-enacts the interplay between two modes: logos and mythos.
