N2  - The versions of Nietzschean and Cioranian Antihumanism start from different presuppositions than Foucault's Antihumanism, adding misanthropy to their nihilistic project. The Cioranian term of the not-man, a darker counterpart to Nietzsche's Übermensch, can be "tested" through forays into the Romantic and Postromantic literature, considering for instance Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), Maupassant's "Horla" (1887), Lorrain's "The Possessed" (1895) or the poems of Lautreìamont. In this paper we compare Cioran's Antihumanism with the nihilism of Thomas Bernhard's first novel, Frost (1963). © 2019, Cluj University Press. All rights reserved.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
