Post-Human Mimesis and the Debunked Machine: Reading Environmental Appropriation in Poe's Maelzel's Chess-Player" and "The Man That Was Used Up." [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Presents a study that uses N. Katherine Hayles's observations about the status of environmental relatedness in the posthuman subject as a starting point for a rather different kind of analysis than the one she has offered in her 1999 study, "How We Became Posthuman." Examination of a particular version of posthuman subjectivity; Overturning of the subject of liberal humanism that can already be seen at work in the writings of Edgar Allan Poe; Implications on comparative literature studies.
