ENSAIOS METAMÓRFICOS DO TRANSCAPITALISMO PÓS-HUMANO. APONTAMENTOS REFLEXIVOS SOBRE O IDEÁRIO TRANSHUMANISTA.

Abstract

In this article, we have the pretension to offer the thesis according to which transhumanism has been putting itself in the present time as a decisive field for the Marxism and battlefield privileged for the critical theory in the 21st century, essentially for the reason of being an “area of knowledge” the participation of theorists of this scope, for which we try to offer possible indications of our contribution. To substantiate this proposal, we will see that the theme of transhumanism brings with it some of the problems detected by Adorno in his controversies with Walter Benjamin about the aura problem regarding the relationship between society and nature. The aura will be articulated by us to the question of the permanence of the power of nature over society; would refer to the possibility of transcending nature, but would also manifest itself in the form of the dominating power that would prolong nature within society. In order to do so, we will briefly review the theoretical and political lines of the transhumanist debate and, finally, conclude that the absence of a Marxist debate coincides with some of the investments of the so-called trans-bourgeoisie, which remains untouched by some ideologues of this debate and possibly the metamorphic essays of post-human transcapitalism.
