Description
The posthuman condition signals a profound shift in our relationship with the world. This historical moment is marked by significant technological, ecological, biopolitical, and spatial transformations that alter the coordinates of human existence. As a result, traditional definitions of the "human" and the human environment are challenged. This book investigates the urban landscapes shaping the posthuman geographies of the early 21st century, exploring the complex spatialities, more-than-human ecologies, and diverse forms and habits of life in a world moving away from anthropocentrism. A wide-ranging debate about design's role in engaging with these issues is fostered through contributions from leading scholars. By examining the intersections of technology, ecology, politics, and space, Posthuman offers a nuanced understanding of our place within the world and the potential for design to shape a more sustainable future.
