- W2530336773 abstract "This book began with two questions. Firstly, what role did the comic book superhero play in the history of posthumanism? Secondly, how did comic book readers relate to these depictions of the posthuman body? Recognising that the figure of the posthuman body was far from fixed and bounded, this book has instead presented the posthuman body as a rhizomatic assemblage, an emergent property formed by the overlapping realms of fictional Superhumanism, the techno-scientific practices of Transhumanism and the critical-theoretical philosophy of Post/Humanism. These categories were connected rhizomatically to one another within the assemblage of the posthuman body. As such, any analyses of changes within one component were related to changes in the others, altering each of these realms’ potential to transform other human (and non-human) bodies. As this book nears its end it becomes possible to reformulate the understanding of the posthuman body and restate why we should concern ourselves with it at all. While not necessarily sharing Fukuyama’s bio-conservatism, we may broadly support his observation that the conceptualisation of the human throughout history has had, and will continue to have, “great political consequences”.1 As this book has demonstrated, this is also true of the posthuman. This is not a matter of ideology however. It is not that representations of the posthuman body, in whatever discursive realm, mask or obfuscate a “true”, “natural” human body. Nor is it to argue that there is a single desirable or true form of posthuman body." @default.
