Posthumanities: New issue of ICAS journal
http://posthumanities.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-issue-of-icas-journal.html
Dec 22, 2012. New issue of ICAS journal. Posted by Rodolfo Piskorski. The latest issue of the Journal of the Institute for Critical Animal Studies is out. I'm proud to say that I have a small participation on it - a review of Tom Tyler's book CIFERAE: A Bestiary in Five Fingers. Which is just great, by the way. Have given any thought to the question of animal embodiment via Bodies That Matter. I don't know if they have, that's why I ask, but it should be interesting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Posthumanities: Human exceptionalism in "Gattaca"
http://posthumanities.blogspot.com/2012/05/human-exceptionalism-in-gattaca.html
May 26, 2012. Human exceptionalism in "Gattaca". Posted by Rodolfo Piskorski. I say "more" thoughts because I have been thinking about and discussing Gattaca. For years now, and it's certainly one of my favorite films. The persecuted underdog story, coupled with Michael Nyman's beautiful score, always gets to me. I have, of course, also detected in it the Romantic notion that being sick in a sick society is actually being healthy. As such, Gattaca. Isn't humanity determined by genes, then? The only reaso...

Posthumanities: February 2014
http://posthumanities.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Feb 21, 2014. Scriptural, electric animality. Posted by Rodolfo Piskorski. When writing about zoogrammatology. I often make the point that animality threatens to short-circuit. Language and literature (to use an expression sometimes employed by Cary Wolfe). I was happy, but not really surprised, to find further theorization of such short circuit in Of Grammatology. It is basically the complex, presuppositional relationship that obtains between writing and science:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Apr 4, 2014. Posted by Rodolfo Piskorski. Many have talked about the fact that, in Derridas deconstructive readings, the signifier he obsesses over doesnt need to be really there. To be sure, in many of his analyses he finds a specific word whose flickering of meanings will reveal the symptoms of différance. 160;at play in the given text (think of Rousseaus supplement, or Platos pharmakon.

http://posthumanities.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Dec 17, 2014. Posted by Rodolfo Piskorski. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My current research focuses on the role of animality for the construction of meaning in literary/cultural texts, as in the works of Brazilian author Clarice Lispector, who was the focus of my dissertation. I'm attempting to outline a theory for a possible zoogrammatology. Speak as much about animals as the later ones more openly concerned with animality. My favorite book is, without a doubt, Of Grammatology. If you want to make contact.

Posthumanities: Kojève's posthumanism
http://posthumanities.blogspot.com/2011/02/kojeves-posthumanism.html
Feb 7, 2011. Posted by Rodolfo Piskorski. The first time I got in contact with Kojève's thinking was in Agamben's The Open. Where he quotes what Kojève has to say about the End of History and what that would imply - the end of dialectics and Man. In general, I thought it was a really interesting discussion, if overall a little naïve in its understanding of history (does it really march forward towards a completion? And wondering outloud, "But would we still wear clothes? And Agamben's The Open. For some ...
