Posthumanist Approaches to a Critique of Political Economy

Using body-based research methods to explore the relationship between posthumanist theory and critiques of political economy, this transdisciplinary book proposes posthumanist critical-poetic methods that move beyond disembodied ways of thinking and living.

Using critical and poetic practice-as-research techniques, this transdisciplinary open access book explores the potential of posthumanist thinking for critiquing the mechanisms of twenty-first century political economy.

The six sections of the book explore topics that put posthumanist forms of thinking, applied as academic and artistic practices, in conversation such as with: artificial intelligence; the politics of (digital) neoliberalism; image production; the economies of embodiment; social discrimination; human and non-human performance; multi-species organization; infrastructure and logistics.
