A reading of the philosophical idea of world as it relates to the
posthuman subject in Beckett's short prose Jonathan Boulter offers
the reader a way of understanding Beckett's presentation of the
human, more precisely, posthuman, subject in his short prose. These
texts are notoriously difficult yet utterly compelling. This
compelling difficulty arises from Beckett's radical dismantling of
the idea of the human. His short texts offer instead an image of a
being who may be posthumous, or ultimately beyond categories of
life and death. And yet, despite this dismantling, the narrators of
these texts still find themselves placed within material,
recognisable, spaces. This book explores what the idea of 'world'
can mean to a subject who appears to have moved into a material,
even ecological, space that is beyond categories of life and death,
being and world. Key Features: Provides a philosophical reading of
Samuel Beckett Rethinks Beckett in relation to the posthuman
Contributes to a relatively ignored aspect of Samuel Beckett's
writing, the short prose
