Acerca deste livro eletrónico
As our ideas of the human have come under increasing challenges from technological change, from medical advances, from the existential threat of climate crisis, from an ideological decentering of the human, amongst many other things the 'posthuman' has become an increasingly central topic in the Humanities. Bringing together leading scholars from across the world and a wide range of disciplines, this is the most comprehensive available survey of cutting edge contemporary scholarship on posthumanism in literature, culture and theory.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Posthumanism explores:
- Central critical concepts and approaches, including transhumanism, new materialism and the Anthropocene
- Ethical perspectives on ecology, race, gender and disability
- Technology, from data and artificial intelligence to medicine and genetics
- A wide range of genres and forms, from literary and science fiction, through film, television and music, to comics, video games and social media.
