Description
Rosi Braidotti's Posthuman Feminism explores the intersection of feminist theory and the contemporary posthuman condition. The author defines the posthuman turn as a convergence between posthumanism and post-anthropocentrism, examining their complex relationship and joint impact. Braidotti argues that mainstream posthuman scholarship has neglected feminist theory, while in fact, feminism is one of the precursors of the posthuman turn, through diverse social movements and political traditions. This book offers an analytic and creative response to contemporary conditions, highlighting the constraints and potentialities available to feminist political subjects as they confront injustices such as sexism, racism, ecocide, and neoliberal capitalism. A key work in feminist philosophy, Posthuman Feminism will be of interest to students and scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
