The posthuman is not a kind of being, but a way of being, a tectonic shift in the conditions of life on Earth. This class traces this shift through both philosophy and science fiction. Readings include classic texts in poststructuralism, queer theory, critical disability theory, animal studies, affect theory, and ecofeminism. There will be weekly writing assignments, a final group project, and a firm attendance policy. Students should be prepared to read 20-30 pages of philosophy per week, as well as several novels over the course of the semester
