Animal Writing, Posthuman Ethics, Grace, Poetic Reason, WildAbstract
In this paper I want to defend the necessary role played by the recognition of human animal subjectivity in the articulation of a posthuman ethics. For this I propose that what I have called “animal writing” is a way of writing that seeks to express that human animality. I will analyze the features of what animal writing is, proposing Zambrano’s poetic reason as an adequate method to articulate animal writing. As an example of animal writing, I will examine the narratives of the feminist wild. Finally, going through these texts will allow me to highlight some principles of what I consider to be a posthuman ethics.
