Feminisme posthumà

Rosi Braidotti unravels the deeply intertwined relationships between feminism and posthumanism. The philosopher herself vindicates the role of feminisms in the development of the posthuman turn and exposes how posthumanist studies are leaving feminist theory aside. Posthuman Feminism takes up the arguments of previous books (The Posthuman and Posthuman Knowledge) and delves into the consequences for feminist theory and practice of thinking through posthuman theory, and vice versa. Braidotti conceives the posthuman as a marker of current situations and as a navigational instrument. In both cases, the term is intended to help achieve a better understanding of the challenges we face in today's world -sexism, racism, rising inequality, ecocide- and draw a path through them. Thus, posthumanism will be feminist or it will not be. This work aspires to be a period reading, identifying and evaluating emerging trends in contemporary feminist theory and practice that allow us to overcome the phase of posthuman convergence in which we find ourselves today.
