Abstract:This article aims to explore the affinities between contemporary Paganism and the posthuman project in how they approach the non-human natural world. On the one hand, posthumanism explores new ways of considering the notion of hu-mans and how they are linked with the non-human world. On the other hand, Neopaganism expands this reflection to the spiritual domain through its animistic relational sensibility. Both perspectives challenge the modern paradigm where na-ture and humans are opposed and mutually disconnected. They instead propose a relational ontology that welcomes the “different other.” This integrated relation-ship between humans and the “other than human” can be understood through the semiotic Chora, a notion belonging to Julia Kristeva that addresses how the subject is not symbolically separated from the world in which it is contained.

Abstract:avtorica skuša v članku raziskati podobnosti med sodobnim poganstvom in posthumanim projektom v tem, kako pristopata do nečloveškega naravnega sve-ta. Po eni strani posthumanizem odkriva nove načine pojmovanja ideje človeka in njegove povezanosti z nečloveškim svetom. Po drugi strani pa novopoganstvo s svojo animistično odnosnostno senzibilnostjo to razmišljanje širi v domeno du-hovnosti. Obe perspektivi izpodbijata moderno paradigmo, v kateri sta si narava in človek nasprotna in medsebojno nepovezana. Namesto nje predlagata odno-snostno ontologijo, ki sprejema »drugačnega drugega«. Ta celostni odnos med človekom in »vsem, kar ni človek«, je mogoče razumeti skozi semiotično chóro, pojem, ki ga je vpeljala Julia Kristeva in v katerem subjekt ni simbolno ločen od sveta, v katerega je zajet.
Keywords:posthumanizem, čaščenje narave
