Connecting Renaissance humanism to the variety of "critical
posthumanisms" in twenty-first-century literary and cultural
theory, Renaissance Posthumanism reconsiders traditional languages
of humanism and the human, not by nostalgically enshrining or
triumphantly superseding humanisms past but rather by revisiting
and interrogating them. What if today's "critical posthumanisms,"
even as they distance themselves from the iconic representations of
the Renaissance, are in fact moving ever closer to ideas in works
from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century? What if "the human"
is at once embedded and embodied in, evolving with, and de-centered
amid a weird tangle of animals, environments, and vital
materiality? Seeking those patterns of thought and practice,
contributors to this collection focus on moments wherein
Renaissance humanism looks retrospectively like an uncanny
"contemporary"-and ally-of twenty-first-century critical
posthumanism.
