Lisa Blackman: Loving the Alien: A Post-Post-Human Manifesto (2016)
Filed under booklet | Tags: · alien, body, human, manifesto, politics, posthumanism, subjectivation, subjectivity
This essay explores the ambivalent position of the alien in order to reflect upon the question of whether there is a place for a non-body politic. Lisa Blackman brings together a number of different debates from “new biologies” to “alien phenomenologies” that provide some ways of framing a possible non-body politics founded on radical relationality, contingency and “inhuman formation” that might go some small way to recognising what might be at stake.
