 THE CONTEMPORARY AND THE POSTHUMOUS
These long spaces between the first articulation of a discourse and its later reception and realization are what is meant by the terms of the contemporary and the posthumous.
My particular focus on spaces between discourses and between cultures will be that of the contemporary and the posthumous.
Whereas these and other institutional and disciplinary aspects of Romanticism became part of the cultural life of the nineteenth century, the critical theory or the philosophy or the humanistic discourse of Early Romanticism remained a matter of contention for a long time and was perhaps not recognized in all its radicalness until very recently.

 PEA Soup: The Standard Account of Posthumous Harm
Take, for instance, one of Parfit famous examples: it seems that despite his having had the desire to become a poet when he was young, Parfit does not harm himself now by thwarting his past desire to become a poet in pursing his current desire to be a philosopher.
This spells trouble for the standard account of posthumous harm, for it would seem that it must hold that posthumous events harm people by thwarting their past desires—after all, the deceased have no present desires, but only past desires.
I'm with you on this one--I have never understood why that particular argument for posthumous harms holds any water.
