    Posthumanist perspectives on affect: Framing the field.Magdalena Zolkos & Gerda Roelvink - 2015 - Angelaki 20 (3):1-20.
    This special issue on posthumanist perspectives on affect seeks to create a platform for thinking about the intersection of, on the one hand, the posthumanist project of radically reconfiguring the meaning of the “human” in light of the critiques of a unified and bounded subjectivity and, on the other, the insights coming from recent scholarship on affect and feeling about the subject, sociality, and connectivity. Posthumanism stands for diverse theoretical positions which together call into question the anthropocentric assertion of the (...)

    Bereft of Interiority: Motifs of Vegetal Transformation, Escape and Fecundity in Luce Irigaray's Plant Philosophy and Han Kang's The Vegetarian.Magdalena Zolkos - 2019 - Substance 48 (2):102-118.
    Han Kang's 2007 novel The Vegetarian, published in English translation in 2015, tells a story of one woman's refusal to eat meat. Yeong-hye's refusal comes from her desire to eschew the intersecting violence of patriarchy and carnism, which gradually reveals an underlying psychosis and drive towards self-attrition. Because of the central motifs of bodily transgression and self-abnegation in the novel, critics have compered Han Kang's Yeong-hye to Frantz Kafka's Gregor Samsa or the hunger artist. Just as the hunger artist seeks (...)

    (1 other version)Witnessing after the human.Michael Richardson & Magdalena Zolkos - 2022 - Angelaki 27 (2):1-2.
    Until recently, the scholarship on witnessing in literature, media, and culture has made the assumption that testimony is produced by and addressed to human subjects. This is evidenced, for example...

    The Fragility of it All.Krzysztof Michalski & Magdalena Zolkos - 2010 - Angelaki 15 (3):99-108.
    This article examines the development of Leszek Kolakowski's thought, in the context of changing Polish political landscape; from the early Marxist text, critical of the Catholic Church and its doctrine -- to the late books on Augustine and Pascal and sympathetic analysis of the role of religion in contemporary society. The author attempts to discover a continuity in this development; it may by found, the author argues, in Kolakowski's rationalism, understood first in opposition to religion, but later as fed on (...)

    Can there be Costless War? Violent Exposures and (In)Vulnerable Selves in Benjamin Percy's “Refresh, Refresh'.Magdalena Zolkos - 2011 - Critical Horizons 12 (2):251-269.
    The technological transformation of the conduct of war, exemplified by the American employment of drones in Afghanistan and in Iraq, calls for a critical reflection about the fantasies that underpin, and are in turn animated by, the robotic revolution of the military. At play here is a fantasy of a “costless war" or a “sterile war", that is such act of military state violence against the other that is inconsequential for the self. In other words, the seductive appeal of the (...)

    Jean Améry's Concept of Resentment at the Crossroads of Ethics and Politics.Magdalena Zolkos - 2007 - The European Legacy 12 (1):23-38.
    The questions of forgiveness and political justice have recently become intertwined with the “transitional justice” project, the aim of which is the coming to terms with past human rights violations. This article demonstrates that “transitional justice” is less concerned with providing justice than with achieving historical closure, moral redemption, and a “new beginning.” It proposes that justice requires a profound reflection of a political nature by introducing and discussing Jean Améry's concept of resentment. Central to Améry's view of resentment is (...)

    Reconciliation—No Pasarán: Trauma, Testimony and Language for Paul Celan.Magdalena Zolkos - 2009 - The European Legacy 14 (3):269-282.
    This article intervenes in the project of theorizing the politics of reconciliation and transitional justice with the suggestion that (a) more attention be paid to subjective experiences and discursive sensitivities affected/shaped by the trauma of historical violence and injustice, and that (b) the constitutive as well as potentially subversive working of these experiences and sensitivities be recognized. It focuses specifically on Paul Celan (1920?1970), a Jewish-Romanian-German poet and Holocaust survivor, proposing a reading of his work that connects aspects of the (...)

    The Origins of European Fascism: Memory of Violence in Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon.Magdalena Zolkos - 2015 - The European Legacy 20 (3):205-223.
    Michael Haneke’s film The White Ribbon narrates violent attacks that disrupt the cyclical life of a German village in 1913–14. The narrator frames the violence as a study of the origins of fascism: the alleged perpetrators are children, who rebel against the disciplinary powers of patriarchal authority. Coming to maturity during World War I, they will have become the generation of Nazism’s followers. In contrast to psycho-historical readings of The White Ribbon as a cinematic exploration of the causal relationship between (...)

    ‘The return of things as they were’: New humanitarianism, restitutive desire and the politics of unrectifiable loss.Magdalena Zolkos - 2017 - Contemporary Political Theory 16 (3):321-341.
    The current proliferation of restitutive claims in response to expropriation in armed conflicts occurs at the interstices of humanitarianism and transitional justice. Restitution indicates the expansion of the humanitarian mandate from providing immediate relief to those who have suffered loss, to engaging in remedial, redressive and restorative practices. That intersection between the humanitarian goals and post-conflict justice is one of the signs of ‘new’ forms and ethos of humanitarianism. This article offers a critical reading of the ‘restitutive desire’ underpinning the (...)
