attori/agenti, animali più-che-umani, relazionalità, pluriversoAbstract
In questo articolo si indaga il campo delle relazioni internazionali postumane e si sostiene che i contributi in tale ambito si sono concentrati su tre aree principali. In primo luogo, è impossibile ignorare l’influenza di Bruno Latour. Molti lavori si sono ispirati alla Actor Network Theory, evidenziando l’importanza di “attori/agenti” non umani per i risultati negli affari umani. La seconda area riguarda il ruolo degli animali più-che-umani nelle questioni internazionali. Diversi contributi hanno evidenziato che le relazioni internazionali non sono un dominio esclusivamente umano. Infine, il lavoro di Milja Kurki, incentrato sulle relazioni, ha aperto la disciplina a una varietà di punti di vista che sfidano il tradizionale focus sugli Stati. Concludiamo con una valutazione di quello che è stato il contributo postumano alle relazioni internazionali fino ad oggi e sosteniamo che una disciplina pienamente postumana, essenziale per la sopravvivenza dell’uomo e di molte altre specie, richiederà un passaggio a un pensiero pluriversale.
