In this article, I will work with the theoretical framework of posthumanism to read and analyse contemporary German Science/Speculative Fiction. More specifically, I will deal with the subbranch of Critical Posthumanism as championed most prominently by Neil Badmington, Rosi Braidotti (The Posthuman, 2013) and Stephan Herbrechter, and its inherent connection with Critical Theory, especially in the tradition of the Dialektik der Aufklärung by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. Their theory of civilization, and the relevance of art and artistic practices as a means of presenting (non)alternatives in this context, will open up new ways of interpretation and analysis. Texts discussed in this article are by Dietmar Dath (Die Abschaffung der Arten, 2008), Reinhard Jirgl (Nichts von euch auf Erden, 2013) and Leif Randt (Planet Magnon, 2015). Further discussion points of this article include community building and the constitution of subjectivity before and after the Anthropocene in contemporary German Science Fiction.

“ES War Etwas Neues，Und Gleich Waren 的 Drei Davon”：在当代德国科幻小说中建立人类后的社区和主体性

在本文中，我将借助后人类主义的理论框架来阅读和分析当代德国科学/思辨小说。更具体地说，我将处理由 Neil Badmington、Rosi Braidotti（The Posthuman，2013 年）和 Stephan Herbrechter 最为突出的批判后人类主义的分支，以及它与批判理论的内在联系，尤其是在 Dialektik der Aufklärung 的传统中西奥多·阿多诺和马克斯·霍克海默。他们的文明理论，以及艺术和艺术实践作为在这种背景下呈现（非）替代品的一种手段的相关性，将开辟新的解释和分析方式。本文中讨论的文本由 Dietmar Dath（Die Abschaffung der Arten，2008 年）、Reinhard Jirgl（Nichts von euch auf Erden，2013 年）和 Leif Randt（Planet Magnon，2015 年）撰写。
