Posthumous Life : Theorizing Beyond the Posthuman, Paperback / softback Book

Posthumous Life : Theorizing Beyond the Posthuman Paperback / softback

Edited by Jami Weinstein, Claire Colebrook

Part of the Critical Life Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

Posthumous Life launches critical life studies: a mode of inquiry that neither endorses nor dismisses a wave of recent "turns" toward life, matter, vitality, inhumanity, animality, and the real.

Questioning the nature and limits of life in the natural sciences, the essays in this volume examine the boundaries and significance of the human and the humanities in the wake of various redefinitions of what counts as life.

They explore the possibility of theorizing life without assuming it to be either a simple substrate or an always-mediated effect of culture and difference.

Posthumous Life provides new ways of thinking about animals, plants, humans, difference, sexuality, race, gender, identity, the earth, and the future.
