    dc.description.abstractThe history of the critical reception of the short fiction of the writer Katherine Mansfield can be divided into two main areas: studies that investigate her short stories in their multiple relationships with Modernism, and more recent analyses that focus on her (post)colonial roots as a New Zealander. The cultural, gendered and physical otherness in her short stories is the privileged subject of criticism. Conversely, what is almost completely forgotten by the critics is her concern for the nonhuman world. What is most striking is how the otherness that ontologically characterises her life and her stories is not only a line of separation but also traces a link between different worlds. The elements of the binary paradigms are always in relation to each other and they exist only through this relation. Seen from this perspective, her short stories show the links and pave the way not to separation but to unity. This essay aims to highlight the relevance that the act of writing has for Mansfield in her attempt to create a new subjectivity that embeds human and nonhuman in a process of autopoiesis. Instead of seeing the world and its inhabitants in terms of static structures, she focuses on the network of relationships between them. It is in her network of relationships that she depicts what can be seen as her posthumanism ante litteram.pl

    dc.description.BiographicalnoteElisa Fortunato is Associate Professor in English Literature at the University of Bari, Italy. She has published essays on classical sources of Gulliver’s Travels and a book in 2014 (Le tracce del marinaio. Note ai “Gulliver’s travels” di Jonathan Swift) and on the relationship between history and fiction in 19th-century England. Since 2015 she has been studying the relationship between translation and patronage during fascism (A strange-dispos’d time, 2017; Censorship and self-censorship during fascism, 2020). Recently her interests have been shifting to ecocriticism and dystopian narratives (How to escape a ‘sub-human lot: Aldous Huxley’s ‘The politics of ecology – the question of survival’, 2019; Beyond ecological trauma. Aldous Huxley’s theory of language, 2022; Debt as Plot. Notes on Margaret Atwood’s The heart goes last, 2022).pl
