What is the future of humanity? What does it mean to be human in the posthuman age? What responsibility does humankind have towards others and their environments? How are the stories that humans tell themselves implicated in the very power asymmetries and eco-political challenges that they bemoan? Taking a cross-disciplinary approach to the posthuman age, the essays in this collection speak to the multifaceted geographies and counter-geographies of humanity, probing into the possible futures we face as planetary species. Some of these include: ecological issues generated by centuries of neglecting our environment(s); power asymmetries stemming from economic and cultural globalization; violence and its affective politics informed by cultural, ethnic, and racial genocides; religious disputes; social inequities produced by consumerism; gender normativity; and the increasing impact of digital and AI (artificial intelligence) technology on the human body, as well as historical, socio-political, not to mention ethical relations.

Recenzijas

Reframing the humanist subject as a complex temporal material and a differential ecology of affects, this exciting interdisciplinary collection enables multiple entry points to new thinking in support of posthuman futures. The essays explore shared incursions of biology and technology to redefine what it means to be human in the twenty-first century and articulate non-anthropocentric perspectives with planetary implications. -- Simone Bignall, Senior Lecturer of Philosophy, Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research, University of Technology in Sydney
