Man-Animal, Animal-Man. Posthumanism and Post-politics in
Art Spiegelman’s Maus
Art Spiegelman’s comic book Maus was the inspiration for Marianne Hirsch during the work over the concept of Post-memory. As far as “generation memory” and question of trauma seems to be the crucial element of narration, interesting interpretation field is connected also with “animal metaphor”. In context of relation between “human”–“animal”–”unhuman” the article with usage of case study is attempting to analyse the reasons and consequences of chosen visual representation and its ethical adequacy. Additionally is the attempt to answer the question where is located the border between “human being” and “animal” in contemporary philosophy and description of its political character.
