In response to the recent state of emergency, \u003ci\u003eThe Posthuman Pandemic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ehighlights the urgent need to rethink our anthropocentrism and develop new political models, aesthetic practices and ways of living. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentral to these discussions is the idea of post-humanism, a philosophy that can help us grapple with the crisis, as it takes seriously the unstable ecosystems on which we depend and the precarious nature of our long-cherished notions of agency and sovereignty. Bringing together international philosophers, political theorists and media and art theorists, all of whom engage with the posthuman, this volume explores a range of vital subjects, from the inequality revealed by COVID-19 survival rates to museums' role in spreading human-centric understandings of a world struck by human fragility.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFacing up to the realities that the coronavirus outbreak has uncovered, \u003ci\u003eThe Posthuman Pandemic\u003c\/i\u003e combines both breadth and depth of analysis to take on the posthuman challenges confronting us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Saul Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350239062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350239067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Saul Newman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945074065663,"sku":"9781350239067","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f3050858-3af3-4f0e-be54-3345319c76f6.jpg?v=1681506635","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-posthuman-pandemic-saul-newman-9781350239067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
