Adopting a cartographic analysis, it maps some similarities and differences between Heidegger’s fundamental ontology and critical posthumanism. It relies especially on Braidotti’s posthumanist arguments and theories to explain both the relational and transversal features of Dasein (in the posthumanist framework) and the weak anthropocentrist ones (in Heidegger’s fundamental ontology). In this paradigm, the Heideggerian concept of Dasein is situated both beyond and between classical humanism and weak anthropocentrism, given that Heidegger is deconstructing the metaphysical dialectic of binary oppositions (between human and animal), while remaining anchored in some type of weak anthropocentrism. Relying on a posthumanist and post-anthropocentrist methodology, the posthuman convergence twists the existential inquiry of Dasein and opens up a vitalist–materialist and immanent approach to the posthuman. This attracts the conceptual deterritorialization of Dasein (from its existential paradigm) and its reterritorialization in an open materialist process ontology of becoming, toward the posthuman, which is situated on the basis of an immanent, rhizomatic, transversal, and symbiotic movement given by our multiple belongingness to this material world, which relies on relational assemblages with human/non-human others, the environment, the Earth, and so on.","PeriodicalId":55935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Posthuman Studies-Philosophy Technology Media","volume":"133 10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86476669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the novel, empathic robots are used for the purpose of friendship with children, responding to the emotional needs of humans. To contrast the empathic robots with humans, who at times lose their empathy, a thought experiment assesses the future potential of empathic robots used for law enforcement purposes. The results indicate that empathy is not an important function in police robots and should be suppressed to improve their performance. Further analyses draw on psychological perspectives and sociocultural factors to better understand current police attitudes toward empathy, revealing that empathy is not considered a necessary quality for police officers. Based on those analyses, absence of empathy can be a potential cause of ongoing police brutality in the United States. Last, a posthuman future is envisioned in which all robots can have an empathy function, and the qualities that today define humanity are no longer tied to physical human embodiment.","PeriodicalId":55935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Posthuman Studies-Philosophy Technology Media","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89786279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In “Fully Optimized: The (Post)human Art of Speedrunning” (Journal of Posthuman Studies 4(1) (2020): 5–24), Jonathan Hay identifies a gap in the literature on speedrunning and provides a timely response to the thinking of the gameplay practice. However, what Hay describes is at risk of being misinterpreted as a transhumanist position, due to its association with Nietzsche’s Apollonian notion of art. This article will expand Hay and Scully-Blaker’s definitions of speedrunning by identifying a third type: the parasitic speedrun. Moving beyond consideration of speedrunning that implicate a “mostly” human agency, the idea of the parasitic speedrun suggests that a videogame glitch, produced through cosmic “noise,” offers a space where technical objects and organic matter intersect in unexpected ways. The cosmic noise triggers a cascading effect that extends from the gaming console to the gamer. This event parasites the gamer to the extent that the speedrunning community calls their identity into question. This article proposes that a parasitic speedrun is posthuman, as it extends beyond the determinations of human intentionality and cannot be reduced to the binary logic of human and technology.","PeriodicalId":55935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Posthuman Studies-Philosophy Technology Media","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87626725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to the two reasons that question the emphasis on response, respect, and care, this article aims to supplement the current ethical turn by suggesting an ethics of indifference, according to which indifferent relations between human and nonhuman beings are “the default policy” while response, respect, and care are acts of exigency. Drawing upon Alphonso Lingis’s work, the article translates this policy into an ethics of indifference that stipulates the imperative of posthuman life.","PeriodicalId":55935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Posthuman Studies-Philosophy Technology Media","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90761378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Central to these innovations are theories of posthumanism and scrutiny of the self in relation to technology. Posthumanism signifies a continuum of human existence that involves shaping and being shaped by the environment and innovations. This article examines the use of high-fidelity holographic technologies to facilitate human–software interrelationships. Drawing on fictional representation of human–hologram intimacy in Blade Runner 2049 and real-life creations Azuma Hikari and Hatsune Miku (who sometimes appears in holographic form), it argues that hybridized spaces created by ubiquitous computing coupled with holography promote and naturalize intimate posthuman fantasies. Partial disembodiment of humans in technologically mediated spheres, coupled with partial embodiment of software using holographic interfaces, generates liminal counter sites existing between the real and imaginary-other spaces that align with Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopias; holograms, as visceral interfaces, produce simultaneously mythic and tangible contestations of the space in which we live. High-fidelity holography has the potential to radically transform human–machine interconnections now and in the future.","PeriodicalId":55935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Posthuman Studies-Philosophy Technology Media","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83233789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
