Posthuman Critical Thought: Post Grad & ECR Masterclass with Rosi Braidotti

This session aims to outline the key concepts and the methodological innovations introduced by posthuman critical theory, defined as the convergence of critiques of Humanism and critiques of Anthropocentrism. In addition to the quantitative aspects - new themes and objects of enquiries, what does posthuman scholarship contribute to contemporary debates in the new Humanities? What sort of qualitative transformations does it entail? The class will focus on Braidotti’s neo-materialist, critical feminist posthuman theory in a cross and trans-disciplinary perspective.
