Posthumanism in the Novels of Kurt Vonnegut: Matter That Complains
So re-examines the prevailing critical consensus that Kurt Vonnegut
was a humanist writer. While more difficult elements of his work
have often been the subject of scholarly attention, the tendency
amongst critics writing on Vonnegut is to disavow them, or to
subsume them within a liberal humanist framework. When Vonnegut's
work is read from a posthumanist perspective, however, the
productive paradoxes of his work are more fully realised. Drawing
on New Materialist, Eco-Critical and Systems Theory methodologies,
this book highlights posthumanist themes in six of Vonnegut's most
famous novels, and emphasises the ways in which Vonnegut troubles
human/non-human, natural/artificial, and material/discursive
hierarchical binaries
