Title
"Posthuman Vulnerability"
Abstract
I discuss the concept of transjectivity which captures the notions of transsubjective and transobjective (or material) entanglements in relation to the impact COVID-19 has had on our individual and collective ways of being. The sudden disruptive shifts to the ways in which we experience our multiple entanglements has caused disorientation. It only uncovers a fundamental fact: as transjective beings, we are fundamentally vulnerable.
