ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the discursive and analytic conditions that frame contem-
porary subjectivity which, I will argue, is both posthuman and relational. At the
core of new subject formations there is a double shift from the anti-humanism
of the post-structuralist generation, to a post-anthropocentric approach. This
shift takes place within globalized advanced capitalism that is marked by high
levels of technological mediation, internally contradictory temporalities and
necro-political governmentality, or governance by fear. The posthuman indicates
the shifting locations of the human in the era that is also known as the anthro-
pocene. Throughout the chapter I will take feminist theory and praxis as the
main point of reference, stressing the transformative and affirmative character
of feminist politics.
