"Diseases of the Head is an anthology of essays from contemporary philosophers, artists, and writers working at the crossroads of speculative philosophy and speculative horror. At once a compendium of multivocal endeavors, a breviary of supposedly illicit ponderings, and a travelogue of philosophical exploration, this collection centers itself on the place at which philosophy and horror meet. Employing rigorous analysis, incisive experimentation, and novel invention, this anthology asks about the use that speculation can make of horror and horror of speculation, about whether philosophy is fictional or fiction philosophical, and about the relationship between horror, the exigencies of our world and time, and the future developments that may await us in philosophy itself. From philosophers working on horrific themes, to horror writers influenced by heresies in the wake of post-Kantianism, to artists engaged in projects that address monstrosity and alienation, Diseases of the Head aims at nothing less than a speculative coup d'état.Refusing both total negation and absolute affirmation, refusing to deny everything or account for everything, refusing the posture of critique and the posture of all-encompassing unification, this collection of essays aims at exposition and construction, analysis and creation – it desires to fight for some thing, but not everything, and not nothing. And it desires, most of all, to speak from the position of its own insufficiency, its own partiality, its own under-determinacy, which is always indicative of the practice of thinking, of speculation. Considering themes of anonymity, otherness and alterity, the gothic, extinction and the world without us, the end times, the apocalypse, the ancient and the world before us, and the uncanny or unheimlich, among other motifs, this anthology seeks to articulate the cutting edge which can be found at the intersection of speculative philosophy and speculative horror."

In der gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen und ökologischen Krisensituation ist nichts dringender gefragt als eine Vorstellung davon, wie eine Zeit nach dem Neoliberalismus aussehen kann. Das zweite konvivialistische Manifest stellt eine politische Philosophie vor, die konsequent relational und pluriversal angelegt ist, die das Zusammenleben der Menschen untereinander und das Verhältnis zur Natur auf neue, glaubwürdige und überzeugende Grundlagen stellt. Ein zentraler Aspekt ist dabei die Überwindung aller Formen menschlicher Hybris. Nach einer intensiven Diskussion haben fast 300 Wissenschaftler*innen, Intellektuelle und Aktivist*innen aus 33 Ländern dieses Manifest unterzeichnet.

»Da muss ich noch an mir arbeiten!« Doch an was genau arbeiten wir eigentlich, wenn wir solche Vorsätze postulieren? Eva Georg liefert hierzu eine Analyse der Konstitution des (neo-)liberalen Subjekts im Kontext einer »Therapeutisierung der Gesellschaft«. Unter Bezugnahme auf Michel Foucault, die Quantenphysikerin Karen Barad und die buddhistische Philosophie nimmt sie eine Neuverhandlung der Frage nach der »Arbeit am Selbst« vor. Dabei adressiert sie ethische Debatten um die Relationalität von Subjektivität ebenso wie eine post-/koloniale Perspektivierung westlicher Buddhismus-Rezeptionen - und liefert einen innovativen Beitrag für das noch junge Feld der Beratungswissenschaften sowie die Praxis von Psychotherapie, Beratung und Coaching. »Georg widmet sich einem bislang nicht erforschten Verfahren und gelangt bei der Untersuchung der philosophischen Prämissen zu interessanten Befunden. Auch die postkoloniale Perspektive auf die Buddhismus-Rezeption weiß zu überzeugen.« Jens Elberfeld, Soziopolis, 24.11.2020 Besprochen in: www.socialnet.de, 25.11.2020, Christel Hafke

Animal Narratology interrogates what it means to narrate, to speak—speak for, on behalf of—and to voice, or represent life beyond the human, which is in itself as different as insects, bears, and dogs are from each other, and yet more, as individual as a single mouse, horse, or puma. The varied contributions to this interdisciplinary Special Issue highlight assumptions about the human perception of, attitude toward, and responsibility for the animals that are read and written about, thus demonstrating that just as “the animal” does not exist, neither does “the human”. In their zoopoetic focus, the analyses are aware that animal narratology ultimately always contains an approximation of an animal perspective in human terms and terminology, yet they make clear that what matters is how the animal is approximated and that there is an effort to approach and encounter the non-human in the first place. Many of the analyses come to the conclusion that literary animals give readers the opportunity to expand their own points of view both on themselves and others by adopting another’s perspective to the degree that such an endeavor is possible. Ultimately, the contributions call for a recognition of the many spaces, moments, and modes in which human lives are entangled with those of animals—one of which is located within the creative bounds of storytelling.
