The essays, like the field itself, are diverse in scope, style, and difficulty … [The] breadth of concepts and topics covered renders this volume, itself part of a series on emerging critical theories, useful in a broad range of academic disciplines. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
CHOICE
Explicitly political through the network it draws together. Its tentacles spread far and wide, raise relevant questions and provide timely ideas on how to re-think affinities and practices.
Anarchist Studies
With Posthuman Glossary, editors Rosi Braidotti and Maria Hlavajova bring together a comprehensive and diverse range of entries that make an emphatic intervention in posthuman scholarship, offering neat summaries, exploring new applications and challenges and suggesting intriguing conceptual networks. The product of significant, collective intellectual and adminstrative labour, this ensemble piece will be a catalyst for research, activism and the formation of new ethical communities.
LSE Review of Books
While many academic dictionaries and glossaries offer little of substance or original content, Posthuman Glossary bucks that trend and provides instead a compelling and rewarding compendium.
The Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory
Moving from one entry to the next or following affective or theoretical threads by engaging in the conceptual paths mapped across the book, the reader will travel the creative and vibrant seas of posthumanist thinking, bursting with new concepts and ideas. This transdisciplinary venture provides essential tools for those who want to contest their anthropocentric, humanistic thinking and tackle the challenges of our unprecedented troubled times. It is a necessary task.
- Christine Daigle, Director, Posthumanism Research Institute and Professor of Philosophy, Brock University, Canada,
Whatever one's previous experience with posthumanism might be, the book's cumulative bibliography is indeed a gold mine. All the references made by the different authors can be found at the end of the book, and this provides the reader with the most complete bibliography of posthumanism and new materialisms.
