In connection with the roundtable “Reassembling Boundaries: Posthumanism and Postcolonialism” (RSPU, 4/10/2019), you are invited to submit a paper for possible inclusion in a special issue of Galactica Media Journal (see galacticamedia.com). The topic of the issue is ‘Beyond the horizon of media ontologies’. New anthropological, sociological, philosophical, political projects suggested by posthumanist researchers and united by a critique of “Human” necessarily include a critique of the anthropomorphic perception of technology and media as a “natural” environment serving humanity. Redefining the boundaries of technology and media, posthumanist projects offer a radically different way of non-human agency perception. Plunging into everyday life and analyzing the social context, theorists such as Bruno Latour, Donna Haraway, Helen Hester discover new forms of their agency, formatting social reality, constructing knowledge, irrevocably changing the subject and constantly crossing such dualistic boundaries as human/non-human, artificial/natural, cultural/natural. As Donna Haraway writes, the stakes in this border war are territories of production, reproduction and imagination. We invite everyone interested in research and reassembling the boundaries of machine, social, natural and human to submit your full paper by email to [log in to unmask] with the title of the paper, authors, abstract and full manuscript till 20th of February. Authoring guidelines will be mailed to you after we receive your letter.
