Posthuman Pathogenesis: Contagion in Literature, Arts, and Media: Routledge Studies in Literature and Health Humanities

Editat de Başak Ağın, Şafak Horzum
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2024
This multi-vocal assemblage of literary and cultural responses to contagions provides insights into the companionship of posthumanities, environmental humanities, and medical humanities to shed light on how we deal with complex issues like communicable diseases in contemporary times. Examining imaginary and real contagions, ranging from Jeep and SHEVA to plague, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19, Posthuman Pathogenesis discusses the inextricable links between nature and culture, matter and meaning-making practices, and the human and the nonhuman. Dissecting pathogenic nonhuman bodies in their interactions with their human counterparts and the environment, the authors of this volume raise their diverse voices with two primary aims: to analyse how contagions trigger a drive to survival, and chaotic, liberating, and captivating impulses, and to focus on the viral interpolations in socio-political and environmental systems as a meeting point of science, technology, and fiction, blending social reality and myth. Following the premises of the post-qualitative turn and presenting a differentiated experience of contagion, this ‘rhizomatic’ compilation thus offers a non-hierarchised array of essays, composed of a multiplicity of genders, geographies, and generations.

She is the founder of "PENTACLE: Posthuman Entanglements of Culture, Literature, and Environment," the first Turkish website dedicated to posthumanities (https://thepentacle.org). Her monograph, Posthümanizm: Kavram, Kuram, Bilim-Kurgu (["Posthumanism: Concept, Theory, Science-Fiction"] 2020, Siyasal), is the first Turkish work to explore science fiction literary/filmic narratives in light of posthumanist-new materialist theories. Dr. Ağın edited M. Sibel Dinçel’s Turkish translation of Simon C. Estok’s The Ecophobia Hypothesis (2018, Routledge), which came out in 2021 as Ekofobi Hipotezi (Cappadocia UP), and is currently editing a Turkish handbook of environmental, medical, digital, and posthumanities. She is also co-editing an international volume, Ecofeminism and World Literature: African, Middle Eastern, and Asian Perspectives, with Douglas Vakoch. Her articles appeared in scholarly journals like Neohelicon, CLCWeb, Translation Review, and Ecozon@.
Şafak HORZUM, Ph.D., is an independent scholar based in Ankara, Turkey. A former Fulbright Visiting Fellow at Harvard University, Department of English, he focuses on the human-nonhuman relations in fantasy fiction, specifically in the works of Jonathan Swift and Lewis Carroll in his doctoral dissertation. Horzum was awarded in 2016 the ASLE grant for his Turkish-English translation of Oya Baydar’s postapocalyptic novel The General of the Garbage Dump, which awaits its publisher. Having received the travel grant from the Ehrenpreis Center for Swift Studies, he will join Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster in 2022. Horzum’s publications in edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals concentrate on translation studies, the theories of men and masculinities as well as queer sexualities in British drama and fiction from the seventeenth century onwards.
