Being Posthuman
Posthumanism is both a descriptive and a prescriptive term. Secondly, it refers to the future and a new relationship with the non-human, along with a different understanding of human exceptionalism.In Being Posthuman: Ontologies of the Future, Zahi Zalloua interrogates this future and shows that "post-" does not necessarily mean 'after' or that what comes after is more advanced than what has gone before. Firstly, it registers a shift beginning in the late 1960s and epitomized by Foucault's "the death of Man".
