Description
Using critical and poetic practice-as-research techniques, this transdisciplinary open access book explores the potential of posthumanist thinking for critiquing the mechanisms of twenty-first century political economy.
The six sections of the book explore topics that put posthumanist forms of thinking, applied as academic and artistic practices, in conversation such as with: artificial intelligence; the politics of (digital) neoliberalism; image production; the economies of embodiment; social discrimination; human and non-human performance; multi-species organization; infrastructure and logistics.
The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by FWF Austrian Science Fund.
