| 要約: | In the article posthumanism is not only presented but also seen from the perspective of literary studies and human-animal relationship. The author follows Cary Wolfe’s What is posthumanism? and analyses what consequences this criticism on human subjectivity would have when applied to animal narratives and animal characters mainly in Kafka, Bulgakov and Rilke. These writers use anthropomorphism to represent nonhuman animals but, simultaneously, they seem to decentralise human experience. Since changing perspective and giving voice to other animals is well recognised in literature, the article sheds light on what is the relation with posthumanist narrative. |
