La postcritica come politica

critique, crisis, affect, possibility, processAbstract
The article aims to analyze the extent to which the recent proposal of a post-critical turn is capable of reconfiguring the current relationship between criticism, crisis, and hope. While today’s critical attitude of thought predominantly takes the form of a diagnosis of the present that ends up confirming its inevitability, the post-critical turn aims to avoid this drift through a different epistemological and affective posture. Throughout the article, I will highlight the difficulties that this proposal encounters when it limits itself to embodying a different ethos towards the critical object that is not aimed at changing its ontological status. My thesis is that only by also embracing a processual ontological vision can post-critique, on the one hand, reopen the horizon of hope as a possibility, and on the other hand, allow theorists to divest the role of the judge and adopt a different epistemological posture, such as that – expressed in the plural feminine form and borrowed from the famous figure of Donna Haraway – of modest witnesses.
