While more difficult elements of his work have often been the subject of scholarly attention, the tendency amongst critics writing on Vonnegut is to disavow them, or to subsume them within a liberal humanist framework. When Vonnegut's work is read from a posthumanist perspective, however, the productive paradoxes of his work are more fully realised. Drawing on New Materialist, Eco-Critical and Systems Theory methodologies, this book highlights posthumanist themes in six of Vonnegut's most famous novels, and emphasises the ways in which Vonnegut troubles human\/non-human, natural\/artificial, and material\/discursive hierarchical binaries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Hicks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036785855X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367858551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Andrew Hicks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056026218751,"sku":"9780367858551","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9cda071e-8e29-4823-b672-be837de4c2dc.jpg?v=1685039111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/posthumanism-in-the-novels-of-andrew-hicks-9780367858551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
