Description

A timely dethroning of the human subject and embracing of a new kind of existence, in this book Christine Daigle highlights the affirmative potential of vulnerability amidst unprecedented times of more-than-human crises. By bringing together traditions as diverse as feminist materialist philosophy, phenomenology, and affect theory, Daigle convincingly pleas for the radical embracing of a shared posthumanist vulnerability. Posthuman Vulnerability fills a significant theoretical gap - whilst feminism has explored the affirming power of vulnerability, it's been from a very human-centric viewpoint. In posing a feminist and posthuman take on vulnerability, Daigle is bridging traditions in a totally original and much needed way.
