"Witnessing beyond the Human is nourished by a myriad of different philosophical, theoretical, literary, and visual artistic sources. Jenckes's comparatist perspective is on full display, as is her extensive knowledge of the Argentinian and Chilean political, intellectual, and cultural scene. The book engages in a sustained and profound reflection on, and with, the thought of Jacques Derridain a way that is not typical in our field." Revista de Estudios Hispánicos
"Kate Jenckes's Witnessing beyond the Human investigates the political implications of decentering the human subject as a coherent and stable entity The conclusions of Jenckes's study are useful for any scholar interested in the posthumanities: her articulation of Chefjec's myopic practice of writing as akin to the exposure to the unknown, or account of life, following Gelman, as more than an individual self-contained biological self, as that which contains difference, rather than effacing it."
