In a context marked by the virulent return of patriarchal and white
supremacist attitudes, a new generation of feminist activists are
continuing the struggle: these are very feminist times. But how do
these and other movements relate to the contemporary posthuman
condition?
In this important new book, Rosi Braidotti examines the implications
of the posthuman turn for feminist theory and practice. She defines
the posthuman turn as a convergence between posthumanism on the one
hand and post-anthropocentrism on the other, and she examines their
complex relationship and joint impact. Braidotti claims that
mainstream posthuman scholarship has neglected feminist theory, while
in fact feminism is one of the precursors of the posthuman turn,
through diverse social movements and political traditions. _Posthuman
Feminism_ is an analytic and creative response to contemporary
conditions and a call to action. It highlights the constraints but
also the potentialities available to feminist political subjects as
they confront the ever-growing injustices of sexism, racism, ecocide
and neoliberal capitalism.
This bold new text by a leading feminist philosopher will be of great
interest to students and scholars throughout the humanities and social
sciences.
