Description
The Posthuman Glossary provides an outline of critical terms in posthumanity, exploring its relevance to artistic and intellectual work. This volume bridges gaps across disciplines, terminologies, and constituencies, offering insights into the altered meanings of art in light of contemporary developments. It builds upon themes such as Anthropocene/Capitalocene, eco-sophies, digital activism, algorithmic cultures, and security in the inhuman. The book outlines potential artistic, intellectual, and activist itineraries for navigating the complex reality of the 'posthuman condition'. This original work is designed to unlock the terms of posthumanity for students and researchers. By examining these critical concepts, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which our understanding of humanity has been transformed by contemporary concerns.
