{"product_id":"9781350151086","title":"Being Posthuman : Ontologies of the Future by Zahi Zalloua","description":"Posthumanism is both a descriptive and a prescriptive term. Firstly, it registers a shift beginning in the late 1960s and epitomized by Foucault's \"the death of Man\". Secondly, it refers to the future and a new relationship with the non-human, along with a different understanding of human exceptionalism. In Being Posthuman: Ontologies of the Future, Zahi Zalloua interrogates this future and shows 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: 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297593340277,"sku":"9781350151086","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350151086.jpg?v=1762781029","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781350151086","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
