Book Description:
|
This is a timely and innovative volume that pushes the boundaries of queer thinking from its focus on the human to the nonhuman. It offers a discussion of what might constitute nonhuman, posthuman, subhuman, and inhuman perspectives. This includes the theoretical and political use to which these concepts might be put, exploring the shifting ways in which the distinction between the human and nonhuman, whether animal, machinal, otherwordly or inanimate, is made.
