This paper extrapolates paraliterary writings and cultural politics of “extrahumans” and “other-than-humanity” by analyzing three works of speculative fiction. My main argument aims at exploring non-human lives and uncanny world-buildings invested in and reflected by outsiders-cum-others' perspectives. In Divine Endurance, the threesome formed by a super-intelligent black cat, a specially-made gynoid, and a trans-man prince is the key issue to explore extra-human sexual politics, the residue of post-colonial structure and gender governance alongside the problems of near-future east-southern Asia matriarchal power struggles and the liminality of life. In the apocalyptic novel Winterlong, I will explore both the sexual economy in the aftermath of normative civilization and laboratory experiments on “other” lives, articulating the conditions of radical prosthesis and what it means to be the wanton drive of excess (of regular humanity). In the dark fantasy Galilee, I intend to read the queer (un)lives along with post-Lacanian psychoanalysis to explore politics of desire in others-withinhumanity. |
