Märksõnad:

A timely dethroning of the human subject and embracing of a new kind of existence, in this book Christine Daigle highlights the affirmative potential of vulnerability amidst unprecedented times of more-than-human crises. By bringing together traditions as diverse as feminist materialist philosophy, phenomenology, and affect theory, Daigle convincingly pleas for the radical embracing of a shared posthumanist vulnerability.

Posthuman Vulnerability fills a significant theoretical gap - whilst feminism has explored the affirming power of vulnerability, it's been from a very human-centric viewpoint. In posing a feminist and posthuman take on vulnerability, Daigle is bridging traditions in a totally original and much needed way.

Arvustused

Drawing inspiration from non-human critters such as coral polyps and an insistent bee, Posthumanist Vulnerability explores what it means to be vulnerable and agentic transjective beings, and how they may teach humans ethical lessons in unlearning human exceptionalism. This is a truly wonderful book, full of new, affirmative posthumanist insight. * Nina Lykke, Poet and Professor of Gender Studies, Linköping University, Sweden, and Aarhus University, Denmark * Daigles Posthumanist Vulnerability is a timely philosophical monograph, highlighting the affirmative potential of multispecies vulnerability amidst unprecedented times of more-than-human crises. Bringing together traditions as diverse as feminist materialist philosophy, phenomenology, Deleuzoguattarian thought, and affect theory, Daigle dethrones the human subject and convincingly pleas for the radical embracing of a shared posthumanist vulnerability. * Evelien Geerts, Research Fellow, University of Birmingham, UK *
