Beskrivning

A timely dethroning of the human subject and embracing of a new kind of existence, in this book Christine Daigle highlights the affirmative potential of vulnerability amidst unprecedented times of more-than-human crises. By bringing together traditions as diverse as feminist materialist philosophy, phenomenology, and affect theory, Daigle convincingly pleas for the radical embracing of a shared posthumanist vulnerability.Posthuman Vulnerability fills a significant theoretical gap - whilst feminism has explored the affirming power of vulnerability, it's been from a very human-centric viewpoint. In posing a feminist and posthuman take on vulnerability, Daigle is bridging traditions in a totally original and much needed way.

Recensioner i media

Drawing inspiration from non-human critters such as coral polyps and an insistent bee, Posthumanist Vulnerability explores what it means to be vulnerable and agentic – transjective – beings, and how they may teach humans ethical lessons in unlearning human exceptionalism. This is a truly wonderful book, full of new, affirmative posthumanist insight.
