Using critical and poetic practice-as-research techniques, this transdisciplinary book explores the potential of posthumanist thinking for critiquing the mechanisms of twenty-first century political economy.
The five sections of the book explore topics that put posthumanist forms of thinking, applied as academic and artistic practices, in conversation with: the politics of neoliberalism; social discrimination; ecological concerns; digital governmental control; and digital image production.
