Abstract:
Disability and the Posthuman analyses cultural representations and deployments of disability as they interact with posthumanist theories of embodied technologies. Working across texts from contemporary writing and film, it argues that there are exciting, productive possibilities and subversive potentials in the dialogue between disability and posthumanism when read as generating sustainable yet radical critical spaces.
