PostgraduateRecenzii
"Posthuman Subjectivity in the Novels of J.G. Ballard is a welcome and long overdue addition to the body of criticism on J.G. Ballard. This book finally foregrounds Ballard as a writer concerned with posthumanism and transvaluation. The book intersects posthuman theory, surrealism and transvaluation theories to offer nuanced and original perspectives on the way Ballard’s fiction disrupts a normative control and desensitisation achieved through technology, while pointing the ways in which technology can promote inclusive social relation. A must read for any academic and student working on Ballard."

Descriere
In dialogue with posthuman thought, this book argues that Ballard’s fiction affirms the expansive powers of the human body to create openings in the limited present. This book also positions the transgressive private mythologies of Ballard’s characters as strategies of survival and endurance in surrealist everyday catastrophes.
