This edited collection examines the expression of posthumanist themes across diverse media, emphasizing the interconnections of technology, identity, and existence. As technological breakthroughs increasingly obscure the distinctions between the organic and inorganic, as well as the human and non-human, media narratives function as essential arenas for analysing these shifting dynamics.
The book examines the representation of posthuman identities in film, television, and literature, prompting philosophical inquiries regarding autonomy, subjectivity, and agency, and examines how posthumanism transforms conventional humanist notions of the self and society, especially by investigating the interdependent link between humans and technology.
