“And therefore we Must Seek Dialogue in this Networked World”: A Meeting of Postcolonialism and Posthumanism in “Coloniality, Ontology, and the Question of the Posthuman” (ed. Mark Jackson). A Review
(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.
Podmioty moralności. Studium porównawcze opowieści o mordercach („African Psycho’ Alaina Mabanckou i „American Psycho” Breta Eastona Ellisa)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Poręba, Izabela
The article is a comparative study of two stories about murderers, characters of the novels “African Psycho” (2003) by Alain Mabanckou and “American Psycho” (1991) by Bret Easton Ellis. The similarities in the construction of the main characters – fascination with popular culture, brutality and vulgarity, identity problems and interest in famous serial killers – are evidence of Mabanckou’s intertextual play with a popular American novel. The essence of this play, however, is rather the moments of distinguishing and negotiating with the original text, among them: cultural, social, economic and political differences in the construction of the world presented, different class positions and motivations for the actions of the murderers. The article investigates also the main characters’ capability to be subjects of moral judgements. Their specific mental state (biographical discontinuity, isolation, desire for evil) is evidence of „depowerment”. Therefore, their capacity for self-understanding and ethical responsibility is questioned.
Polskie męskości: peryferyjne, kolonialne, postkolonialne. Mapowanie pola poszukiwań
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2024) Kubiak, Adam
The paper explores particularities of Polish masculinity entangled in perpetual violence and class-based submission rooted in serfdom and servitude. The aim there is an attempt to make a preliminary mapping of possible decolonisation of manhood/masculinity, understood as decoding the frame of oppression and exploitation built on these foundations. Main focus in this piece is put on exploring such a possibility using existing critical works and attempts of re -writing Polish identity as not noble but rather serf-born. As a preliminary piece, this paper is mean to be less of a stance and more an invitation to discussion.
