- Disability and the Posthuman is the product of eight years research across multiple subjects (literature, film, disability studies, gender studies, medical humanities, posthumanism, robotics, biomedical engineering, design). It is the first monograph on depictions and theorisations of disability and future technologies and develops complex and original multi-layered arguments that work across critical perspectives, contexts and types of cultural outputs. Using examples from around the globe, it extends knowledge and creates new directions in both its major fields, arguing for the inclusion of disability embodiment in theories of the posthuman and for disability studies to embrace the decentring energies of posthumanism.
