As positions that insist,   respectively, on the equal yet distinct powers of mind and body (immanence) and   the urgent need to dismantle human privilege and exceptionality (posthumanism),   each chapter reveals concepts for rethinking established notions of being,   thought, experience, and life.       \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors here take examples from a range of different   media, including literature and contemporary cinema, featuring films such as \u003ci\u003eEnthiran\u003c\/i\u003e\/\u003ci\u003eThe   Robot\u003c\/i\u003e (India, 2010) and \u003ci\u003eCHAPPiE\u003c\/i\u003e (USA\/Mexico, 2015), and new   developments in technology and theory. In doing so, they investigate Deleuzian and Guattarian posthumanism from a variety of political and ethical frameworks and   perspectives, from afro-pessimism to feminist thought, disability studies, biopolitics,   and social justice.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountering the dualisms of Cartesian   philosophy and flattening the hierarchies imposed by Humanism, \u003ci\u003eFrom Deleuze and Guattari to Posthumanism \u003c\/i\u003elaunches vital   interrogations of established knowledge and sparks the critical reflection necessary   for life in the posthuman era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“A beautiful, ethically nuanced and radically divergent collection of invigorating contributions to the Deleuzio-Guattarian posthuman arena. This volume makes key concepts and applications relevant, sometimes devastatingly so, to the times in which we live, and in ethically living with these times.” —\u003ci\u003ePatricia MacCormack, Professor of Continental Philosophy, ARU, Cambridge, UK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781350262225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40829876699342,"sku":"9781350262225","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781350262225","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
