    FRIS SON: The Collected Criticism of Alice Guillermo Reviewing Current Art | 23 The Social Form of Art | 4 Patrick D. Flores Abstract and/or Figurative: A Wrong Choice | 9 SON: Assessing Alice G. Guillermo a Corpus | 115 Annotating Alice: A Biography from Her Bibliography | 16 Roberto G. Paulino Rendering Culture Political | 161 Timeline | 237 Acknowledgment | 241 Biographies | 242 PCAN | 243 Broadening the Public Sphere of Art | 191 FRISSON The Social Form of Art by Patrick D. Flores The criticism of Alice Guillermo presents an instance in which the encounter of the work of art resists a series of possible alienations even as it profoundly acknowledges the integrity of distinct form. The critic in this situation attentively dwells on the material of this form so that she may be able to explicate the ecology and the sociality without which it cannot concretize. The work of art, therefore, becomes the work of the world, extensively and deeply conceived. Such present-ness is vital as the critic faces the work in the world and tries to ramify that world beyond what is before her. This is one alienation that is calibrated. The work of art transpiring in the world becomes the work of the critic who lets it matter in language, freights it and leavens it with presence so that human potential unerringly turns plastic, or better still, animate: Against the cold stone, tomblike and silent, are the living glances, supplicating, questioning, challenging, or speaking—the eyes quick with feeling or the movements of thought, the mouths delicately shaping speech, the expressive gestures, and the bodies in their postures determined by the conditions of work and social circumstance.

    Fictions and Theories of the Posthuman from Creature to Concept

    Université de Liège Faculté de Philosophie et Lettres Département de Langues Modernes : Linguistique, Littérature et Traduction Fictions and Theories of the Posthuman From Creature to Concept Thèse de doctorat présentée par Carole GUESSE en vue de l’obtention du titre de Docteure en Langues, Lettres et Traductologie sous la direction de Michel Delville et Björn-Olav Dozo Année académique 2019 - 2020 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a thesis may have been the most posthuman project that I have ever carried out; and I am not just relating this to how it has turned my computer into my unfailing memory, my faithful companion and, in the last few months, my main interface with the world. Reading daily about the refutation of the homogeneous, coherent, masterful, rational human subject has also made me more sensitive to the ways in which my interactions with human and non-human Others have been instrumental in bringing the present paper creature into existence. It truly takes a village. I want to express my sincerest thanks to my supervisor, Michel Delville, for unsparingly giving time, advice, trust and opportunities. Across this decade spent at the University of Liège, Pr Delville has steadily encouraged me to be curious, creative and confident in all my endeavours. My heartfelt gratitude also goes to my second supervisor, Björn-Olav Dozo, for opening me up to new horizons, for making me part of a vibrant community of researchers and for providing unwavering intellectual and moral support. His enthusiasm, trust and devotion never failed to lift me up and higher. Many thanks also to Christine Pagnoulle and Dick Tomasovic for their early interest in my project, their enlightened feedback and their encouragement; and to Katherine Hayles and Florence Caeymaex for agreeing to participate in its last stages.

Although death brings overwhelming tears of joy to those who cross over, it also brings overwhelming tears of sorrow to surviving family and friends. This is true even for those who have, at the same time, overwhelming tears of joy knowing that there is nothing better on Earth than being dead. 3 Author’s note: Throughout this book, the near-death experience will be referred to as the “NDE.” 4 Table of Contents Forward Preface Acknowledgments Introduction I.
