Las exploraciones tericas de la crtica literaria, as como tambin las de otros discursos dedicados al anlisis de diversas disciplinas artsticas, se enfrentan desde hace algunas dcadas al debilitamiento de los fundamentos del pensamiento humanista, y a las consecuencias que ese deterioro ha tenido sobre los conceptos con que abordaba, e incluso delineaba, sus objetos de estudio. Esto no es una novedad; y sin embargo, es una constatacin que no deja de producir fisuras y desplazamientos en nuestro campo de estudio, abocado cada vez con mayor inters a los desarrollos de la filosofa, la antropologa o la biopoltica, de donde procura extraer herramientas crticas para abordar la zooliteratura contempornea, contextualizar sus bsquedas formales, explicar las cegueras y resistencias de algunas de las lecturas ms cristalizadas. Nos proponemos reflexionar sobre los aportes que estos cruces interdisciplinares pueden realizar a una crtica literaria que se pretenda posthumanista, es decir, que se enrace en la tradicin biocntrica en que se inscriben, entre otras, las obras de Friedrich Nietzsche y Franz Kafka. La performance como forma no representativa de aproximacin al animal ser una de las herramientas crticas centrales para este propsito. Theoretical explorations of literary criticism and those dedicated to the analysis of various artistic disciplines are facing the weakening of the foundations of humanist thought, as well as the consequences this process has had on the concepts it had had developed to addressand even to outlineits objects of study. This is not a novelty; however it is a finding that continues to produce fissures and displacements in our field of study, lately more concentrated and with greater interest in the reflections of philosophy, anthropology and biopolitics. From these, it seeks to extract critical tools to address the contemporary zooliterature, contextualize its formal searches and explain the blindness and resistance of some of the most crystallized readings. We intend to think about the contributions that interdisciplinary crossings can make to a posthumanist literary criticism, that is to say, a criticism rooted in the biocentric tradition in which are inscribed, among others, the works of Franz Kafka and Friedrich Nietzsche. One of the central critical tools for this purpose will be the performance, understood as a not representative way of approximation to animals.
