Recenzii
Defalco manages a straightforward, clear expression, often stepping back to summarize or restate key ideas in direct prose. The argument is well informed, drawing capacious research from varied sources into a coherent and compelling whole.
Frequent, careful, and extensive close readings demonstrate and clarify the argument and its stakes throughout the book. The chapters are both self-contained and accumulating toward a clearly stated and supported conclusion. As the argument builds, in DeFalco's conversational and inviting style, so do connections to a wide range of existing scholarship and tracks are laid for connections to related scholarship as well as current urgently needed engagements. The BSLS Book Prize has been well earned.
This book by DeFalco is a timely intervention in the area of posthumanism and the various facets of posthuman care. Although a significant amount of literature exists on posthuman care, it is deficient in supporting evidence from speculative fiction. The appeal of Curious Kin revolves around its ability to incorporate a diverse range of real-life and fictional scenarios. It offers a complete philosophical and ontological take on posthuman care, deriving insights from diverse fields of study.
