Posthuman Feminism
Posthuman Feminism
In the book Posthuman Feminism, "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, interaction and their joint impact also on issues of social justice. 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, like ecofeminism and political traditions like feminist social studies of science." She also stresses the relevance of a dialogue with indigenous feminisms. "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."
