Disability and the Posthuman is the first study to analyse cultural
representations and deployments of disability as they interact with
posthumanist theories of technology and embodiment. Working across
a wide range of texts, many new to critical enquiry, in
contemporary writing, film and cultural practice from North
America, Europe, the Middle East and Japan, it covers a diverse
range of topics, including: contemporary cultural theory and
aesthetics; design, engineering and gender; the visualisation of
prosthetic technologies in the representation of war and conflict;
and depictions of work, time and sleep. While noting the potential
limitations of posthumanist assessments of the technologized body,
the study argues that there are exciting, productive possibilities
and subversive potentials in the dialogue between disability and
posthumanism as they generate dissident crossings of cultural
spaces. Such intersections cover both fictional/imagined and
material/grounded examples of disability and look to a future in
which the development of technology and complex embodiment of
disability presence align to produce sustainable yet radical
creative and critical voices.
