| Summary: | In Being Posthuman, Zahi Zalloua interrogates the notion that "post-" does not necessarily mean 'after' or that what comes after is more advanced than what has gone before. He pursues this line of inquiry across four distinct, yet interrelated, figures, including cyborgs, animals, objects and racialized and excluded 'others.' These figures disrupt the narrative of the 'human' and its singularity and by reading them together, Zalloua determines that it is only when posthumanist discourse is combined with psychoanalysis that subjectivity can be properly examined. |
