Reihe: Critical Posthumanisms

This groundbreaking volume delves into critical posthumanism, exploring the dissolution of traditional boundaries between humans and nonhuman entities. Challenging the autonomy of the human subject, it presents a radical rethinking of subjectivity, emphasizing interconnectedness and co-existence. Drawing on key movements like post-structuralism, feminism, queer theory, and decolonial studies, this book invites readers to reconsider the hierarchies of matter and agency, advocating for a more inclusive, post-anthropocentric perspective. As the concept of “becoming-with” redefines the political and philosophical landscape, this work on dynamic entanglements offers fresh insights into the future of human and nonhuman relations in both theory and artistic practice.
