Abstract
The intertwining of wars, pandemics and environmental crisis becomes an implicit or explicit vector and catalyst for questions about what is not without ambiguity called the ‘age of man’ (Anthropocene). Thus, it is that a frontier side of contemporary thought, such as the posthumanist constellation, decisively notes and argues the obsolescence of humanistic, anthropocentric. and dualistic models of understanding and explaining reality, pointing rather to perspectives of repositioning the human and rethinking the human-world interface in an eco(nto)logical sense. This is basically the perspective in which the suggestion of human repositioning is presented by posthumanism, particularly the reflection of Roberto Marchesini and Rosi Braidotti, but also roughly by a ‘transdisciplinary’ philosophical voice such as that of Michel Serres. Who, albeit unintentionally, presents, with respect to the posthumanist perspective, clear isomorphisms consisting in a post-anthropocentric rethinking of the human-other-than-human relationship, in a relational posthumanist humanism, as well as in a post-dualist instance of hybridization between human and non-human.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
