Posthumanist Vulnerability: An Affirmative Ethics: Theory in the New Humanities

Autor Christine Daigle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iul 2023
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.

Recenzii

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.
Daigle's Posthumanist Vulnerability is a timely philosophical monograph, highlighting the affirmative potential of multispecies vulnerability amidst unprecedented times of more-than-human crises. Bringing together traditions as diverse as feminist materialist philosophy, phenomenology, Deleuzoguattarian thought, and affect theory, Daigle dethrones the human subject and convincingly pleas for the radical embracing of a shared posthumanist vulnerability.
