    In Xenocitizens, Jason Berger returns to the antebellum United States in order to challenge a scholarly tradition based on liberal–humanist perspectives. Through the concept of the xenocitizen, a synthesis of the terms "xeno," which connotes alien or stranger, and "citizen," which signals a naturalized subject of a state, Berger uncovers realities and possibilities that have been foreclosed by dominant paradigms. Innovatively re-orienting our thinking about traditional nineteenth-century figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau as well as formative writers such as William Wells Brown, Martin R. Delany, Margaret Fuller, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Xenocitizens glimpses how antebellum thinkers formulated, in response to varying forms of oppression and crisis, startlingly unique ontological and social models as well as unfamiliar ways to exist and to leverage change. In doing so, Berger offers us a different nineteenth century—pushing our imaginative and critical thinking toward new terrain

    From the eighteenth-century abolitionist motto "Am I Not a Man and a Brother?" to the Civil Rights-era declaration "I AM a Man," antiracism has engaged in a struggle for the recognition of black humanity. It has done so, however, even as the very definition of the human has been called into question by the biological sciences. While this conflict between liberal humanism and biological materialism animates debates in posthumanism and critical race studies today, Antebellum Posthuman argues that it first emerged as a key question in the antebellum era. In a moment in which the authority of science was increasingly invoked to defend slavery and other racist policies, abolitionist arguments underwent a profound shift, producing a new, materialist strain of antislavery. Engaging the works of Douglass, Thoreau, and Whitman, and Dickinson, Cristin Ellis identifies and traces the emergence of an antislavery materialism in mid-nineteenth century American literature, placing race at the center of the history of posthumanist thought. Turning to contemporary debates now unfolding between posthumanist and critical race theorists, Ellis demonstrates how this antebellum posthumanism highlights the difficulty of reconciling materialist ontologies of the human with the project of social justice

    When Michel Foucault described the railway through multiple locations expressed by the verb ‘to go’, his words did more than simply recognise railways as an ‘extraordinary’ product and producer of modern life. Rather he set out an immersive sense of communication in which medium and message are wrapped together as simultaneously subject, object, representation and practice. Other cultural theorists too, perhaps most notably De Certeau and Serres, have also used transport and travel metaphors to explore processes of communication and world making. Drawing critically on this work in the context of cultural history of transport and communications technology, the lecture begins to develop an expanded conception of communication as the foundation for a critical phenomenology. The work connects Ranciere's conception of a politics of the distribution of the sensible (from his politics of aesthetics) with Ihde's ideas of communicative interaction, Serres and Nancy's work on sensing and communication and a conception of material semiotics based in the work of the American pragmatist Charles Sanders Peirce.
