Dear all,
We're delighted to announce another couple of open access OHP books: a double volume set, Essays on Extinction by Claire Colebrook: Vol 1, Death or the PostHuman and Vol. 2, Sex After Life:
Death of the PostHuman undertakes a series of critical encounters with
the legacy of what had come to be known as 'theory,' and its
contemporary supposedly post-human aftermath. There can be no redemptive
post-human future in which the myopia and anthropocentrism of the
species finds an exit and manages to emerge with ecology and life. At
the same time, what has come to be known as the human - despite its
normative intensity - can provide neither foundation nor critical lever
in the Anthropocene epoch. Death of the PostHuman argues for a
twenty-first century deconstruction of ecological and seemingly
post-human futures.
