With the COVID-19 crisis forcing us to reflect in a dramatic way on
the limits of the human and the implications of the Anthropocene
Age, this timely volume addresses these concerns through an
exploration of post-humanism as represented in philosophy, politics
and aesthetics. Global pandemics bring into sharp focus the
bankruptcy of the neoliberal economic paradigm, the future of the
arts sector in society, and our dependence upon political forces
outside our control. In response to the recent state of emergency,
The Posthuman Pandemic highlights the urgent need to rethink our
anthropocentrism and develop new political models, aesthetic
practices and ways of living. Central to these discussions is the
idea of post-humanism, a philosophy that can help us grapple with
the crisis, as it takes seriously the unstable ecosystems on which
we depend and the precarious nature of our long-cherished notions
of agency and sovereignty. Bringing together international
philosophers, political theorists and media and art theorists, all
of whom engage with the posthuman, this volume explores a range of
vital subjects, from the inequality revealed by COVID-19 survival
rates to museums' role in spreading human-centric understandings of
a world struck by human fragility. Facing up to the realities that
the coronavirus outbreak has uncovered, The Posthuman Pandemic
combines both breadth and depth of analysis to take on the
posthuman challenges confronting us today.
