Item Aesthetic experience : visual culture as the masterpiece of nonhumanity(2016) Wagner, ChristianeItem Embodied, relational practices of human and non-human in a material, social, and cultural nexus of organizations(2016) Küpers, Wendelin M.This article explores the significance of materiality and non- or other-human, espe-cially the role of body and embodiment in relation to intra- and inter-practices in or-ganizations and their culture from a phenomenological perspective and cross-disciplinary approach. Following a Merleau-Pontyian approach, the non-human is discussed in relation to cultural practices in organizational life-worlds. Based on a critique of physicalist empiricism and idealistic rationalism, impasses and limita-tions of naturalist and constructionist approaches towards culture are problematized. Showing the co-constitutive role of the in(ter)-between and inter-corporeality allows interpreting the corporeal nexus of material, social, and cultural phenomena of inter-practices within a continuum of the human and non-human, thus as an entangled non-+-human web. Finally, the paper discusses some implications and perspectives on the non-+-human in the study and practice of culture by particularly outlining an ethos of engaged releasement ( Gelassenheit ). This orientation will be present-ed as a letting be-come in relation to things and thinking for mediating a living sus-tainable bodiment of human and more-than-human dimensions.Item Non-Human actors and identity performance online(2016) Pupynina, AnastasiaItem The non-human as such: on men, animals, and barbers(2016) Timofeeva, OxanaThe article investigates a dialectic that, through the work of negation, paradoxically brings the non-human as anything but human back to the human. It shows how and why, throughout the criticism of all forms of anthropocentrism, the human being still occupies a central place in the very discourse that negates him. His principal position only changed its value from а positive to а negative one. If there is something in com-mon among all possible non-human things in the world, it is their negative determi-nation with regards to the human. While being actively denied, human thus remains a main constitutive element of their identity, a kind of general equivalent, whose on-tological status is highly problematic and therefore particularly interesting.Item Item Pot and power : the role of the nonhuman in a very human business(2016) Artner, Lucia; Atzl, IsabelThe daily care and nursing of people of various ages with disabilities or illnesses con-stitutes historical and contemporary socio-cultural contexts which are said to be hu-man-centered. The formation of practices, politics, and the distribution of knowledge within care and nursing has always been deeply intertwined with the very formation of culture and cultures. This is apparent when focusing upon issues of cleanliness in nursing and care, which are considered to be civilized and cultured, and includes the way we handle excrement. Notwithstanding, there is a profound lack of understanding of the significance and impact that non-humans, such as material objects, had and have in nursing interactions. Based on empirical research on historical and contempo-rary institutional settings of the dirty work of nursing (derived from material culture studies, object-centered historical analyses, and multi-sited ethnography), we analyze the complex intermingling of humans and artifacts in the delicate endeavor of sup-ported excretion. As we will show, material objects do play a significant role in sup-porting those that are unable to undertake their (delicate) business autonomously. However, they also help to transform the dirty work of supported excretion into an object-controlled mode of action.Item Scenes of trash : aesthetic order and political effects of garbage in the home(2016) Moisi, LauraThe article discusses the role that non-humans and simple everyday objects play in political matters. It relates ideas of political theory to recent work in discard studies by asking how certain narratives and cultural appropriations of waste shape the way that political ideas are articulated. The paper employs Jacques Rancière s understand-ing of politics as a distribution of the sensible with respect to acts of disposing of waste in the home. At issue are politically relevant distinctions such as those between private matters and public concerns, visible and invisible spheres of participation, clean and dirty work. The article explores how, on the one hand, visions of modernity and the future are expressed through the meaning of waste and how trash, on the other hand, is articulated in political terms. The approach is interdisciplinary, ranging from political philosophy and feminist thought to cultural theory, with a specific interest in phenomena that address politically relevant issues through the language and aesthetics of waste.
