Course Description

This course explores the emergence of posthumanist thought in contemporary critical theory. We will read and discuss works that renegotiate the human condition through critical inquiry into posthuman desires and the complicated relationship between human and non-human ‘others,’ including animals, plants and micro-organisms, waste and toxins, artificial life, and hyperobjects. By engaging diverse viewpoints that map the stakes of a non-anthropocentric politics of culture, we will reflect on the capacity of the arts and humanities to decipher the posthuman predicament of the contemporary ecological crisis.
