About this product
Product Information
Feminist Posthumanism in Contemporary Science Fiction Film and Media: From Annihilation to High Life and Beyond places posthumanism and feminist theory into dialogue with contemporary science fiction film and media. This essay collection is intimately invested in the debates around the posthuman and the critical posthumanities within a feminist critical-theoretical framework. In this posthumanist light, science fiction as a genre allows for new imaginings of human-technological relations, while it can also be the site of a critique of human exceptionalism and essentialism. In this way, science fiction affords unique opportunities for the scholarly investigation of the relevance and relative applicability of specific posthumanist themes and questions in a particularly rich and wide-ranging popular cultural field of production. One of the reasons for this suitability is the genre's historically longstanding relationship with the critical investigation of gender, specifically the position and relative empowerment of women. The original analyses presented here pay close attention to audiovisual style (including game mechanics), facilitating the critical interrogation of the issues and questions around posthumanism. Where typically the mention of SF in the posthumanist context calls to mind a whole set of (often clichéd) tropes-the cyborg, technologically augmented bodies, AI subjectivities, etc.-this volume's thirteen chapters analyze specific examples of contemporary SF cinema that engage in meaningful ways with the burgeoning field of critical posthumanism, and that utilize such films to interrogate posthumanist and feminist as well as humanistic ideas.

Fans of Rosi Braidotti's work are in for a particular treat with Feminist Posthumanism in Contemporary Science Fiction Film and Media . Taking in games, films and other media objects, the book offers a compelling range of interventions, often circling back to Braidotti, and which at their most exciting are well attuned to the need for intersectional feminism not only to make sense of our contemporary mediascape, but also to forge a new conceptual framework through which to prepare for the changes that our planet requires (and inevitably faces). Critiquing key recent media texts from the west, including Annihilation , Her , High Life , Bioshock and Mass Effect , this is a must-read for anyone invested in our present-day (post)humanities., "Fans of Rosi Braidotti's work are in for a particular treat with Feminist Posthumanism in Contemporary Science Fiction Film and Media .

This book allows for new trajectories of radical imagination to be traced, in the often still anthropocentric field of media production. Posthuman feminist awareness, multispecies justice and human and non-human dignity are thus envisioned and manifested. This book is a precious gift to our society, in need of healing and transformation." -- Francesca Ferrando, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Philosophy at NYU-Liberal Studies, New York University, USA
