Synopsis
Contributing Authors

An emancipatory-oriented discussion about the possible characteristics of agency in the posthuman age, understood as a continuum of diversity incorporating non-human beings and inanimate matter.

The book documents the multi-aspect nature of contemporary reflection on agency and refers to the multitude of discursive practices that contribute to the posthumanist landscape of reflection on the dependencies and entanglements of the human and non-human world perceived from a planetary perspective. The individual chapters focus on approaches to agency from the perspective of critical human-animal studies, deal with the new non-anthropocentric identity constructs, propose analyses focused on the reconfiguration of meanings anchored in semiotic inversions and queering of static cultural patterns. The book closes with texts devoted to the topic decolonization practices freeing agential potentials from the oppressive systems of imperial phallogocentrism.
