Descrição: 'That which makes us human': posthumanism and affect in In 'n land sonder voëls (Harry Kalmer). This article is an investigation into the way in which the theoretical frameworks of posthumanism and affect theory manifest in In 'n land sonder voëls (Harry Kalmer) with an emphasis on the relationship between the two theoretical thought patterns. The point of departure is the question that emerges in the story: What is it that typifies our humanity in the light of mortality and loss? Aspects that emerge from this are onomastics, the placement of a human being as person-in-the-world, the inexorable exploration of the body, and unavoidable loss and trauma. The connection between the past and words or stories is prominent, and is found as a leitmotif, throughout the novel.
