Technomorphisms and the Posthuman Turn cover

Technomorphisms and the Posthuman Turn explores the profound intersections between psychoanalysis and posthumanism, shedding light on the evolving complexities of subjectivity in a hyper-technological world.

This ground-breaking volume delves into the hybridization of the human, nature, and technology, examining how these intersections reshape notions of gender, sexuality, identity, and subjectivity. Through contributions from leading thinkers, the book addresses the ethical and theoretical challenges posed by posthumanism, including the rise of nomadic subjectivities, prosthetic bodies, and the dominance of digital culture. It critically investigates the impact of these transformations on psychoanalytic theory and practice, urging a re-evaluation of traditional epistemological frameworks. By fostering dialogue with other disciplines, the book seeks to deepen our understanding of unconventional subjectivities and the shifting itineraries of sexuality and gender in contemporary society.

This book is an essential resource for psychoanalysts, scholars, and students interested in the intersections of psychoanalysis, gender studies, posthumanism, and technology. It is also invaluable for anyone seeking to understand the ethical and theoretical implications of living in a world where the boundaries of the human are constantly being redefined.

"Technomorphisms and the Posthuman Turn is the result of an ongoing collaboration between analysts, inviting the reader to broaden their knowledge from a psychoanalytical vertex and to engage in a critical dialogue toward a posthumanist perspective. We are in the Anthropocene, in which the place of the subject has shifted to the Posthuman era, where the subject is accountable for its acts on the ecosystem. This ontological and epistemological shift encompassing AI and technology directly concerns the human condition, our clinical practice, and theory. Whether deeply versed in the subject or curious novice, this book will challenge, expand, and enrich you. It is a must-read!"
