| Abstract | "Scholarly attention to the concept of the posthuman has increased recently in response to pressing problems about what it means to be human and what distinguishes the human from the nonhuman, as well as the ongoing ecological catastrophe, recent technological breakthroughs, and the desire to address in new ways issues involving race, gender, and environment. In light of this, we hope that this book will serve as a forum for discussing how the concept of the posthuman may have altered our interactions with the natural world and with one another, for delving into how we may have always already been entwined with nonhuman others, and for speculating on how the posthuman may have repercussions beyond the academy"-- Provided by publisher. |
