What does it mean to think beyond humanism? Is it possible to craft a mode of philosophy, ethics, and interpretation that rejects the classic humanist divisions of self and other, mind and body, society and nature, human and animal, organic and technological? Can a new kind of humanities-posthumanities-respond to the redefinition of humanity's place in the world by both the technological and the biological or "green" continuum in which the "human" is but one life form among many?Exploring how both critical thought along with cultural practice have reacted to this radical repositioning, Cary Wo Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The imagined systems theory book would have had a more sustained and careful treatment of N. Katherine Hayles, surely, as I understand things, the big name in systems theory and cultural studies. On her, in the book as actually published, Wolfe writes: I'm surprised that anyone who's read How We Became Posthuman could believe Hayles promotes a transcendent model of transhumanism (but some do! see Wolfe xv, n10); I'm sure Wolfe doesn't believe Hayles believes such a thing (note, again, xv, where the critique of Hayles, thick with words like "net effect and critical ground tone," "associate," "tends," finally eats its own tail by tending to admit that Hayles made the very points Wolfe makes); but this graph above--one of very, very few that engage with Hayles in a volume thick with systems theory--sort of implies Hayles is herself a transcendent liberal humanist systems theorist with its "on the contrary." But she's not.
Perhaps a quibble? At any rate, the book is more than worth the price of entrance for its chart on 125. ( )
