As I will argue, the series questions mainstream scientific knowledge, the positivism of science and the belief on the unbridgeable separation of the human from everything else. This interrogation is tightly linked in the series to the dismantling of the subject/object, meaning/matter and human/nonhuman dualisms, which is achieved through an emphasis on the performativity and creativity of matter. The series also problematizes time as a linear phenomenon, putting forward a view of time as contingent, emergent and in constant flux. This reading of the series offers a vision of postdisciplinary scholarship in which literary texts have the capacity to interpret, critique and enact scientific paradigms, ultimately fostering an ethics of responsibility for our posthuman times.
