| Abstract | "This introduction identifies a body of cinematic texts that, spanning a range of generic, national and industrial contexts, proposes new models of the relationship between human and non-human worlds. It situates this body of film texts against the backdrop of technological, ecological and social changes that have recently brought established assumptions about the human into question. It further introduces critical posthuman theory, the corpus of scholarship that the book as a whole deploys to analyze what it dubs the "posthuman on screen." In doing so, it disintricates cultural, deconstructive, and materialist strands of critical posthumanism; rehearses the conversations most relevant to interpreting posthuman cinema; and emphasizes the critical gaps that the volume aims to fill"-- Provided by publisher. |
