This volume explores how Latin American and Latinx creators have
engaged science fiction to explore posthumanist thought.
Contributors reflect on how Latin American and Latinx speculative
art conceptualizes the operations of other, non-human forms of
agency, and engages in environmentalist theory in ways that are
estranging and open to new forms of species companionship. Essays
cover literature, film, TV shows, and music, grouped in three
sections: "Posthumanist Subjects" examines Latin(x) American
iterations of some of the most common figurations of the posthuman,
such as the cyborg and virtual environments and selves; "Slow
Violence and Environmental Threats" understands that posthumanist
meditations in the hemisphere take place in a material and cultural
context shaped by the catastrophic destruction of the environment;
the chapters in "Posthumanist Others" shows how the reimagination
of the self and the world that posthumanism offers may be an
opportunity to break the hold that oppressive systems have over the
ways in which societies are constructed and governed.
