Soft cover. Condizione: New. Posthumanism constructs a posthumanist subject through philosophy, critical theory and literature. It tracks diverse developments of posthumanisms from anti-humanism to poststructuralism and psychoanalysis using micro-readings of literary narratives to situate posthumanist ideas and establish an interpretive praxis. Underlining the ethico-political strand, Posthumanism: Politics of Subjectivity demonstrates how to imagine a posthuman socio-political subject that renounces claims to species supremacy and anthropocentric privilege via the categories of animality, object, technology and ecology. The volume brings together lucid philosophical discussions on the nature of subjectivity with analyses of texts as diverse as Perumal Murugan's Poonachi, John Banville's Eclipse and Shroud, Ted Hughes's poetry, and Salman Rushdie's Shame, among many others. "Posthumanism: Politics of Subjectivity conducts an extensive theoretical and cultural critique of the normalized anthropocentric subject of modernity, calling for its replacement by a transversal nomadic and plural subject co-constituted by the nonhuman." Debashish Banerji, Haridas Chaudhuri Professor of Indian Philosophies and Cultures, Doshi Professor of Asian Art, Dept. Chair, East-West Psychology, California Institute of Integral Studies "Who are We? With eyes wide open, this book shines light on posthumanist subjectivity, showing how the wisdom of an antelope and the predictive models of big data are part of our collective unconscious." Francesca Ferrando, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Liberal Studies, New York University "Chattopadhyay persuasively pitches an ethico-political posthumanism as a vantage point from which a critique of capitalist transhumanism may be pursued." from the Preface by Udaya Kumar, Professor, Jawaharlal Nehru University.…

Soft cover. Condizione: New. Postcolonialism Now introduces a new method of decolonial reading and criticism. It critically examines the history and ongoing influence of colonialism and imperialism in postcolonial cultures and texts. The volume seeks to address the crucial question of how to read postcolonial literatures closely and comparatively, particularly through the lenses of decolonisation and anticolonialism. Through rubrics such as migration, ecology, trauma, minorities and futurity, Postcolonialism Now engages with close readings of films, graphic novels, fiction, theatre and poetry from across the globe. "This is an elegantly written book which deftly weaves together the most important thinking on anticolonialism, postcolonialism and decolonisation with sophisticated comparative readings of important literary texts from across the globe. With clarity and insight, Bhattacharya elaborates both the vital political and historical issues at stake in the world we now live in as well as the lasting importance of the literary in addressing them. This book is essential reading for those teaching and researching these issues."Professor Priyamvada Gopal, Professor of Postcolonial Studies, University of Cambridge "The book is a reminder that despite differences, the decolonial and the postcolonial work towards the shared ambition of imagining futures beyond the colonial/imperial gaze. The uniqueness of the volume lies in its rich contribution both at empirical and theoretical levels." Professor Nishat Zaidi, Department of English, Jamia Milia Islamia "The most fascinating hallmark of the book its comprehensive engagement with foundational and existing theoretic icons in this field, amplified further through the inclusion of new critical voices from the Global South. The book, a must read for anyone looking for new directions and relevance for postcolonial studies in the current conjuncture." Professor Anindya Purakayastha, Institute of Language Studies and Research, Kolkata, and Kazi Nazrul University "Postcolonialism Now persuasively argues that we should all be 'reading for decolonising': that is, reading so that we can link past struggles to our present moment and take part in those to come. Richly contextualized, lucidly argued, and historically and materially grounded, this is committed criticism of the best kind." Dr Anna Bernard, Reader in Comparative Literature and English, King's College London.…
