James Lovelock, who is famous for the Gaia hypothesis, has written a new book called Novacene: The Coming Age of Hyperintelligence. It is an extended argument about an impending new epoch on Earth called Novacene in which biological life as we know it will evolve into lifeforms based on cyber technology (i.e., cyborgs) built from non-biological materials. Novacene may be seen as a development of the ideas presented in Lovelock’s earlier book A Rough Guide to The Future. In Novacene, the Earth will be populated by cyborgs, which are self-replicating and self-improving mechanical systems that will eventually dominate and rule the Earth. These cyborgs will possess intelligence and knowledge beyond our understanding.

The text is a critical essay about Achille Mbembe’s poshumanistic theory of identity and answers the question of why we should read about postcolonial theory today, adjusting it to local (European) relations. The author proposes a specific kind of reading Mbembe’s essay as a call to create an involved identity. Involved identities are a form of resistance against European and many other authorities.

Autorka dokonuje problematyzacji krajobrazu w kinie współczesnym w kategoriach eksploracji, eksploatacji i trwania, zdefiniowanych z perspektywy posthumanistycznej i postkolonialnej. Przywołane pojęcia pozwalają odnieść się do różnych relacji między krajobrazem a ludzkimi i nie-ludzkimi podmiotami/aktorami, z uwzględnieniem odmiennych sposobów (współ)działania i (współ)odczuwania, analizowanych przez Rosi Braidotti, Ann Laurę Stoler i badaczy antropocenu. Joanny Żylińskiej koncepcja fotografii „po człowieku” umożliwia natomiast wyjście w analizie obrazów filmowych poza perspektywę ludzkich doświadczeń i działań oraz skupienie się na dynamice i rytmie egzystencji samego krajobrazu. Wybrane przykłady filmowe pokazują, że w kinie współczesnym krajobraz jest ukazywany jako zjawisko polisensoryczne, różnorako oddziałujące na postacie i wpływające na ich relacje ze światem zewnętrznym.
EN
The author examines film landscapes in terms of exploration, exploitation, and existence, which are defined in the context of posthuman and post-colonial studies. These terms allow her to analyse various relations between landscapes and human and non-human subjects/actors, recalling different forms of their co-operation and com-passion, as described by Rosi Braidotti, Ann Laura Stoler, and Anthropocene researchers. After a closer examination of selected films, the author argues that landscapes are represented as polysensory phenomena, which engage film characters and shape their relations with environmental and social realities. Joanna Żylińska’s concept of posthuman photography helps to go beyond human experience and focus on the dynamics and existence of landscapes, especially in images that discuss people-centred ways of representation.

The reflection presented in this article in three distinct “steps of inspiration” (Agamben, ethnology and art) interrelate apparently distant spheres of problems and cultural phenomena. The starting point is given by Agamben’s idea of the apocatastatic “opening of the community,” overcoming the human condition defined by exclusion. The second move will explore an ethnological inspiration. We will reflect upon the archaic search of transcendence through the animal and in the animal, corresponding to the stage of man before the “invention of monotheism” which introduced the concept of divinity defined by reduction and abstraction. As a working hypothesis, it is assumed that the monotheistic concept of God radically driven away from any biological analogy precedes and shapes the concept of humanity defined by exclusion from the universality of biological life
