Mediating Vulnerability examines vulnerability from a range of connected perspectives. It responds to the vulnerability of species, their extinction but also their transformation. This tension between extreme danger and creativity is played out in literary studies through the pressures the discipline brings to bear on its own categories, particularly those of genre. Extinction and preservation on the one hand, transformation, adaptation and (re)mediation on the other. These two poles inform our comparative and interdisciplinary project. The volume is situated within the particular intercultural and intermedial context of contemporary cultural representation. Vulnerability is explored as a site of potential destruction, human as well as animal, but also as a site of potential openness. This is the first book to bring vulnerability studies into dialogue with media and genre studies. It is organised in four sections: 'Human/Animal'; Violence/Resistance'; 'Image/Narrative'; and 'Medium/Genre'. Each chapter considers the intersection of vulnerability and genre from a comparative perspective, bringing together a team of international contributors and editors. The book is in dialogue with the reflections of Judith Butler and others on vulnerability, and it questions categories of genre through an interdisciplinary engagement with different representational forms, including digital culture, graphic novels, video games, photography and TV series, in addition to novels and short stories. It offers new readings of high-profile contemporary authors of fiction including Margaret Atwood and Cormac McCarthy, as well as bringing lesser-known figures to the fore.

A travers l'œuvre-vie de Robert Schumann, Frida Kahlo, Blaise Pascal, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Fedor Dostoïevski, Joë Bousquet, Helen Keller et Démosthène et bien d'autres figures souvent mythifiées, Charles Gardou donne à voir la place de la vulnérabilité dans toute vie et les ressorts nécessaires pour la surmonter. Comme tant d'anonymes, ces femmes et ces hommes font subir un renversement, un retournement au handicap. Ils composent, peignent, écrivent, inventent, certes pour s'exprimer, mais avant tout pour s'emparer de leur vie et lui rendre sa hauteur. Leurs itinéraires singuliers témoignent d'une réalité paradoxale : le handicap impose de multiples limitations et impuissances, d'indicibles détresses, des sentiments d'infériorité. Il contraint à renoncer à des aspirations, il réduit parfois en poussière des désirs et des projets, il restreint certaines capacités mais, en aucun cas, il n'obère l'ensemble des possibilités d'un être. Certaines peuvent même s'accroître. A l'heure où l'on exalte la facticité, où s'affiche la loi de la force avec indécence, l'auteur rappelle combien l'oubli des valeurs de la fragilité génère mépris et exclusion. A l'instar de Fragments sur le handicap et la vulnérabilité (érès, 2005), il montre que l'homme est d'autant plus fort qu'il se connaît et s'assume vulnérable. Il ouvre ainsi à une intelligence de la fragilité.

Das anthropologische Konzept der Verletzlichkeit wird seit einigen Jahren als Alternative zu einem autonomie-zentrierten Zugang zur Medizinethik diskutiert. Was aber genau unter Verletzlichkeit bzw. Vulnerabilität zu verstehen ist, und worin die moralische Relevanz derselben besteht, bleibt eine kontrovers diskutierte Frage. In einem dreijährigen Diskursprojekt haben die Autor/-innen dieses Bandes sich in unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit dem Konzept der Verletzlichkeit des Menschen befasst. Der Band versammelt als Ergebnis dieses gemeinsamen Diskurses unterschiedliche philosophische, theologische und medizinethische Perspektiven, die sich mit anthropologischen und ethischen Grundlagen des Phänomens der menschlichen Verletzlichkeit, sowie mit seiner Funktion und Relevanz für konkrete medizinethische Fragestellungen befassen.
