ABSTRACT

Posthuman theory asks in various ways what it means to be human in a time where philosophy has become suspicious of claims about human subjectivity. Inherent in thinking posthuman ethics is the status of bodies as the site of lives inextricable from philosophy, thought, experiments in being and fantasies of the future. Posthuman Ethics examines certain kinds of bodies to think new relations that offer liberty and a contemplation of the practices of power which have been exerted upon bodies. The privileged site of Posthuman Ethics is historically and philosophically the oppressed site of life which does not register as entirely viable within humanist operations of knowledge, power and majoritarian systems. The field of posthuman Ethics deal with life which resembles nothing except itself and not consistent with itself temporally, only tactically. Posthuman ethics is a negotiation of distance in the ways relation is structured, or destructured.
