Abstract: Writing in the fall of 1830, in the period immediately following France's révolution de juillet , Thomas De Quincey predicts the imminent breakdown of social order in Britain. In his political writing for Blackwood's Magazine over the course of this period, he consistently frames the threat of French-style revolution in terms of the body politic and its vulnerability to contagion, often playing on the meaning of a country's "constitution." In 1831, upon the introduction of the Reform Bill, his worst fears appear to have been confirmed, and he now presents the upcoming revolution almost as a fait accompli. De Quincey's dire predictions fit into a larger framework of nineteenth-century alarmism surrounding contagion, "sympathy," and the collective action of the mob. This article examines the presence and influence of these concepts in De Quincey's political writing for Blackwood's over the period of 1830 to 1832, the year the Bill was successfully passed.

A posthumanist understanding of the body does not view "illness" and "health" as properties of the individual body, but as emergent features of the relationships between bodies. As such, a relational view of health opens up avenues for the betterment of both human bodies and their social and physical environments. Drawing on posthumanism and the ethics of vulnerability, this article demonstrates how Brian Teare's The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven (2015) provides a different way of thinking (and doing) illness, death, and vulnerability. With his acceptance and promotion of the body's dynamic materiality and chronic vulnerability, Teare advances a posthuman ethics based on our shared embodied condition.
后人文主义对身体的理解不是将 "疾病 "和 "健康 "视为个体身体的属性，而是身体之间关系的新特征。因此，健康的关系观为改善人类身体及其社会和物理环境开辟了道路。本文借鉴后人道主义和脆弱性伦理学，论证了布莱恩-蒂尔的《空形上天堂》（The Empty Form Goes All the Way to Heaven，2015 年）如何为疾病、死亡和脆弱性提供了一种不同的思考（和实践）方式。蒂尔接受并提倡身体的动态物质性和长期脆弱性，在我们共同的身体条件基础上推进了一种后人类伦理学。
