Posthumanism synthesizes philosophical, literary, and artistic
responses to technological advancements, globalization, and mass
extinction in the Anthropocene. It asks what it can mean to be
human in an increasingly more-than-human world that has lost faith
in the ideal of humanism, the autonomous, rational subject, and it
models generative alternatives cognizant of the demands of social
and ecological justice. Amid rising social justice movements,
collapsing economic structures, and the dwindling power of cultural
institutions, posthumanism advances thinking on new and previously
unenvisionable challenges. Posthumanism in Art and Science is an
anthology of indispensable statements and artworks that provide an
unprecedented mapping of this intellectual and aesthetic
development in a global context. It features groundbreaking
theorists including Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, Mel Y. Chen,
Michael Marder, Alexander Weheliye, Anna Tsing, Timothy Morton, N.
Katherine Hayles, Bruno Latour, Francesca Ferrando, and Cary Wolfe,
as well as innovative, influential artists and curators such as
Yvonne Rainer, Skawennati, Chus Martinez, William Wegman, Nandipha
Mntambo, Cassils, Pauline Oliveros, and Doo-sung Yoo. These
provocative and compelling works, including previously unpublished
interviews and essays, speak to the ongoing conceptual and
political challenge of posthumanist thinking in a time of
unprecedented cultural and environmental crises. An essential
primer and reference for educators, students, artists, and art
enthusiasts, this volume offers a powerful framework for rethinking
anthropocentric certitudes and reenvisioning equitable and
sustainable futures.
