The question of what defines the human, and of what is human about the humanities, have been shaken up by the radical critiques of humanism and the displacement of anthropomorphism that have gained currency in recent years, propelled in part by rapid advances in our knowledge of living systems and of their genetic and algorithmic codes coupled with the global expansion of a knowledge-intensive capitalism. In Posthuman Knowledge, Rosi Braidotti takes a closer look at the impact of these developments on three major areas: the constitution of our subjectivity, the general production of knowledge and the practice of the academic humanities. Drawing on feminist, postcolonial and anti-racist theory, she argues that the human was never a neutral category but one always linked to power and privilege. Hence we must move beyond the old dualities in which Man defined himself, beyond the sexualized and racialized others that were excluded from humanity. Posthuman knowledge, as Braidotti understands it, is not so much an alternative form of knowledge as a critical call: a call to build a multi-layered and multi-directional project that displaces anthropocentrism while pursuing the analysis of the discriminatory and violent aspects of human activity and interaction wherever they occur. Situated between the exhilaration of scientific and technological advances on the one hand and the threat of climate change devastation on the other, the posthuman convergence encourages us to think hard and creatively about what we are in the process of becoming.

Considero la disertación del profesor Saab una contribución decisiva a los estudios sociales en general y al papel que desempeñan los medios de comunicación en Colombia, puesto que abre sistemáticamente el campo de investigación de manera muy calificada y críticamente informada. En especial, en la emergencia de un nuevo pensamiento y contexto social global, cuya diversidad de trayectorias se perfila bajo la complejidad del posthumanismo. En un claro juego entre la indagación genealógica y la comprensión crítica y sistemática, el investigador se adentra en primera instancia en el contexto de la crisis del humanismo clásico y contemporáneo, para discernir un quiebre irreversible en su concepción, lo cual da lugar a la emergencia de los trazos posthumanos y transhumanos que se han entreabierto en la totalidad social actual y que demandan con urgencia la comprensión crítica de los estudios sociales. Francisco Sierra Gutiérrez, Ph. D. El lector compulsivo de ciencia ficción que era en mi juventud estaría cada vez más asombrado al constatar hasta qué punto ésta se ha vuelto parte indispensable de nuestra cotidianidad.

La marejada del posthumanismo compila diversos análisis, con miradas originales y críticas, presentadas por especialistas acerca del humanismo y su relación con el posthumanismo en la era actual. El lector descubrirá advertencias sustentadas en profundidad acerca de los retos que estos avances representan para las ciencias administrativas y la gestión pública en particular, y para la vida de las sociedades modernas en general. Los impactos de los progresos de la inteligencia artificial, la robótica, la biotecnología y las ciencias, han sido durante varios lustros el centro de análisis de especialistas de múltiples disciplinas científicas (naturales, sociales e ingenieriles, entre otras), escuelas y líneas filosóficas, artistas e interesados en temas del desarrollo en su expresión más polimorfa y amplia. Así mismo, la discusión sobre el humanismo, el posthumanismo y el llamado transhumanismo es medular hoy en la filosofía política y moral y establece un complejo diálogo transversal entre la filosofía, las humanidades, las ciencias naturales y las ciencias sociales e, incluso, implica ecos en campos como el management y las políticas públicas. Las diferentes contribuciones de los autores que han participado en esta obra sobre el posthumanismo y el transhumanismo, deben entenderse desde una perspectiva centrada en el papel que juegan las enormes transformaciones científico-técnicas del mundo en términos de una cuarta revolución —digital, biotecnológica e informacional—. Por lo tanto, es de vital importancia la existencia de laboratorios de políticas públicas en la perspectiva de fomentar la reflexión académica y la organización de líneas de investigación científico-social y humanista, para darle un escenario institucional a espacios de formación, con el fin de analizar las disrupciones y pensar la postmodernidad, el posthumanismo y el transhumanismo como ejemplos vertebrales, para analizarlos en sus impactos sobre las gobernanzas, las administraciones y las políticas públicas.

Bringing a lively and accessible style to a complex subject, "Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls" explores the idea of the 'posthuman' and the ways in which it is represented in popular culture. Toffoletti explores images of the posthuman body from goth-rocker Marilyn Manson's digitally manipulated self-portraits to the famous TDK 'baby' adverts, and from the work of artist Patricia Piccinini to the curiously 'plastic' form of the ubiquitous Barbie doll, controversially rescued here from her negative image. Drawing on the work of thinkers including Baudrillard, Donna Haraway and Rosi Braidotti, "Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls" explores the nature of the human - and its ambiguous gender - in an age of biotechnologies and digital worlds.

It is predicted that robots will surpass human intelligence within the next fifty years. The ever increasing speed of advances in technology and neuroscience, coupled with the creation of super computers and enhanced body parts and artificial limbs, is paving the way for a merger of both human and machine. Devices which were once worn on the body are now being implanted into the body, and as a result, a class of true cyborgs, who are displaying a range of skills beyond those of normal humans-beings, are being created. There are cyborgs which can see colour by hearing sound, others have the ability to detect magnetic fields, some are equipped with telephoto lenses to aid their vision or implanted computers to monitor their heart, and some use thought to communicate with a computer or to manipulate a robotic arm. This is not science-fiction, these are developments that are really happening now, and will continue to develop in the future. However, a range of legal and policy questions has arisen alongside this rise of artificial intelligence. Cyber-Humans provides a deep and unique perspective on the technological future of humanity, and describes how law and policy will be particularly relevant in creating a fair and equal society and protecting the liberties of different life forms which will emerge in the 21st century. Dr Woodrow (Woody) Barfield previously headed up the Sensory Engineering Laboratory, holding the position of Industrial and Systems Engineering Professor at the University of Washington. His research revolves around the design and use of wearable computers and augmented reality systems and holds both JD and LLM degrees in intellectual property law and policy. He has published over 350 articles and major presentations in the areas of computer science, engineering and law. He currently lives in Chapel Hill, NC, USA.

The notion of 'the human' is in need of urgent redefinition. At a time of radical bio-technological developments, and in light of the political and environmental imperatives of our age, the term 'posthuman' provides an alternative. The philosophical landscape which has developed as a response to the crisis of the human, includes several movements, such as: Posthumanism, Transhumanism, Antihumanism and Object Oriented Ontology. This book explains the similarities and differences between these currents and offers a detailed examination of a number of topics that fall under the “posthuman” umbrella, including the anthropocene, artificial intelligence and the deconstruction of the human. Francesca Ferrando affords particular focus to Philosophical Posthumanism, defined as a philosophy of mediation which addresses the meaning of humanity not in separation, but in relation to technology and ecology. The posthuman shift thus emerges in the global call for social change, responsible science and multispecies coexistence.

In this age of DNA computers and artificial intelligence, information is becoming disembodied even as the "bodies" that once carried it vanish into virtuality. While some marvel at these changes, envisioning consciousness downloaded into a computer or humans "beamed" Star Trek-style, others view them with horror, seeing monsters brooding in the machines. In How We Became Posthuman, N. Katherine Hayles separates hype from fact, investigating the fate of embodiment in an information age. Hayles relates three interwoven stories: how information lost its body, that is, how it came to be conceptualized as an entity separate from the material forms that carry it; the cultural and technological construction of the cyborg; and the dismantling of the liberal humanist "subject" in cybernetic discourse, along with the emergence of the "posthuman." Ranging widely across the history of technology, cultural studies, and literary criticism, Hayles shows what had to be erased, forgotten, and elided to conceive of information as a disembodied entity. Thus she moves from the post-World War II Macy Conferences on cybernetics to the 1952 novel Limbo by cybernetics aficionado Bernard Wolfe; from the concept of self-making to Philip K. Dick's literary explorations of hallucination and reality; and from artificial life to postmodern novels exploring the implications of seeing humans as cybernetic systems. Although becoming posthuman can be nightmarish, Hayles shows how it can also be liberating. From the birth of cybernetics to artificial life, How We Became Posthuman provides an indispensable account of how we arrived in our virtual age, and of where we might go from here.

This book argues for education's reconsideration of what psychoanalytic theories of love and hate might mean to the design of learning and pedagogy. Britzman sets in tension three perspectives: studies of education, studies in psychoanalysis, and studies of ethics to consider how larger social and cultural histories live in the small history of the subject. Britzman casts her net widely to consider questions of sex education, the work of Anna Freud in reencountering the Diary of Anne Frank, reading practices in pedagogy, anti-racist pedagogy and the question of love, and the arguments between education and psychoanalysis.
