This project takes its starting point from the results of our five prior projects that separately dealt with issues related to gender, migration, ecology and animality. These previous results evinced the need to analyse, from the broader and transversal framework of the debates around posthumanism, the intersections in the various forms of visible and invisible exclusion in current societies as well as the emerging posthuman typologies that question the anthropocentric and androcentric tradition. Through the analysis of Irish and Galician literary texts, PHIRGAL investigates the synergies between different posthuman typologies, such as those found between humans and non-human animals, the environment and the latest technological discoveries, with the aim of fostering the protection of subaltern subjectivities and equal rights. PHIRGAL undertakes the comparative analysis of Irish and Galician literatures because they are both producing the most daring and innovative texts in relation to posthuman identities, whilst current literary criticism is still insufficient. Concepts such as \u2018cyborg subjectivities\u2019 (Haraway 1985), \u2018radicant subjects\u2019 (Bourriaud 2009), \u2018digital humanities (Warwick, Terras and Nyhan 2012), \u2018monster theory\u2019 (Cohen 1996), \u2018(dis)ability\u2019 (Davis 2006), \u2018queer studies\u2019 (Rudy 2000), \u2018prosthetics\u2019 (Smith and Morra 2006), etc. are now jointly analysed through the lens of posthumanist theory, which highlights the futility of ontological borders, as pointed out by Donna Haraway (1985, 2003, 2016) and Rosi Braidotti (1994, 2013, 2019), and questions Western anthropocentrism, which places the European white man as the centre of the universe. Thus, PHIRGAL aims to identify, from a comparative perspective, the ethical and aesthetic challenges to discourse and representation posed by the configurations of posthuman identity in current Galician and Irish literatures. The 15 members of our research and work teams, from 5 national and 3 international universities, not only actively contribute to the generation of knowledge in the philological field, but also share this knowledge with society at large through transfer activities such as reading clubs, writing workshops and a variety of activities with renowned Galician and Irish authors.<\/strong><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
