Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture de Sanna Karkulehto

Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture: Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture

Editat de Sanna Karkulehto, Aino-Kaisa Koistinen, Essi Varis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 iul 2019
The time has come for human cultures to seriously think, to severely conceptualize, and to earnestly fabulate about all the nonhuman critters we share our world with, and to consider how to strive for more ethical cohabitation.Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culturetackles this severe matter within the framework of literary and cultural studies. The emphasis of the inquiry is on the various ways actual and fictional nonhumans are reconfigured in contemporary culture - although, as long as the domain of nonhumanity is carved in the negative space of humanity, addressing these issues will inevitably clamor for the reconfiguration of the human as well.

Recenzii

"In Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman, and Posthuman in Literature and Culture, editors Sanna Karkulehto, Aino-Kaisa Koistinen, and Essi Varis have done more than assemble a collection of essays on posthumanisms (broadly conceived); they have amassed a scholarly mesh of sorts, a strange ecosystem of questions, concepts, methodologies, and subject positions that play productively with the evolving formations of critical posthumanisms...the book is dazzling in its playful intelligence and indefatigable curiosity. Because of this spirit of interrogative play, I consider it to be part of the now-vital network of collected essays on critical posthumanisms...the prime value of the collection, at least for this reviewer, is its effort to bring into conversation a wide array of theories, disciplines, primary texts (comics, novels, video games, etc.), materialities, and aesthetic sensitivities that both enhance and question the emerging fields of critical posthumanisms." Tony M. Vinci, Fafnir: Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research
"This book does not merely model ways to look at texts through a nonhuman or posthuman lens but illuminates the benefits and even necessity of employing a nonhuman gaze." --Colleen Karn, Methodist College
"Is it possible to say something meaningful about "nonhuman" literature? Would you really like to know what it is like to be a bat? How to make sense of the current drive in the "new" humanities towards problematizing "humanness" and "humanity"? What kind of narratives, readings, visualisations, experiences could or should be employed in human-nonhuman-posthuman relations? Sometimes it is by asking the right questions that knowledge, politics and ethics can be reconfigured. The contributions in this volume are a case in point." --Stefan Herbrechter, Coventry University

Descriere

The time has come for human cultures to seriously think, to severely conceptualize, and to earnestly fabulate about all the nonhuman critters we share our world with, and to consider how to strive for more ethical cohabitation. Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture tackles this severe matter within the framework of literary and cultural studies. The emphasis of the inquiry is on the various ways actual and fictional nonhumans are reconfigured in contemporary culture - although, as long as the domain of nonhumanity is carved in the negative space of humanity, addressing these issues will inevitably clamor for the reconfiguration of the human as well.
