BRAIDOTTI ROSI

ΝΟΜΑΔΙΚΑ ΥΠΟΚΕΙΜΕΝΑ
- Τι σημαίνει νομαδικό υποκείμενο και πώς τοποθετείται μέσα στις παρούσες κοινωνικές και οικονομικές μεταλλάξεις; - Ποιες είναι οι πολιτικές και ηθικές προϋποθέσεις που δομούν τη νομαδική υποκειμενικότητα; - Πως σχετίζεται το νομαδικό υποκείμενο με την κρίση της μετανεωτερικότητας και με την έννοια της "διαφοράς"; - Που μπορούμε να εντοπίσουμε νέα θεωρητικά και πολιτικά παραδείγματα που θα μας συνδράμουν στην επεξεργασία δημιουργικών σχημάτων σκέψης; - Από που εκπορεύεται "το νέο"; Ακολουθώντας τη διεισδυτική ματιά της μεταδομιστικής γ...

(P/B) THE POSTHUMAN
The Posthuman offers both an introduction and major contribution to contemporary debates on the posthuman. Digital 'second life', genetically modified food, advanced prosthetics, robotics and reproductive technologies are familiar facets of our globally linked and technologically mediated societies. This has blurred the traditional distinction between the human and its others, exposing the non-naturalistic structure of the human. The Posthuman starts by exploring the extent to which a post-humanist move displaces the traditional humanistic...

(P/B) POSTHUMAN KNOWLEDGE
The question of what defines the human, and of what is human about the humanities, have been shaken up by the radical critiques of humanism and the displacement of anthropomorphism that have gained currency in recent years, propelled in part by rapid advances in our knowledge of living systems and of their genetic and algorithmic codes coupled with the global expansion of a knowledge-intensive capitalism. In Posthuman Knowledge, Rosi Braidotti takes a closer look at the impact of these developments on three major areas: the constitution of...

(P/B) POSTHUMAN FEMINISM
In a context marked by the virulent return of patriarchal and white supremacist attitudes, a new generation of activists, from the Xenofeminists to Pussy Riot, are continuing the struggle, fighting alongside star feminists like Emma Watson and Scarlett Johansson: these are very feminist times. But how do these and other struggles relate to our contemporary posthuman condition? In this important new book, Rosi Braidotti examines the implications of the posthuman turn for feminist theory and practice. She defines the posthuman turn as a conv...

(P/B) NOMADIC THEORY
Rosi Braidotti's nomadic theory outlines a sustainable modern subjectivity as one in flux, never opposed to a dominant hierarchy yet intrinsically other, always in the process of becoming, and perpetually engaged in dynamic power relations both creative and restrictive. Nomadic theory offers an original and powerful alternative for scholars working in cultural and social criticism and has, over the past decade, crept into continental philosophy, queer theory, and feminist, postcolonial, techno-science, media, and race studies, as well as i...

(P/B) TRASPOSITIONS
This major new book offers a highly original account of ethical and political subjectivity in contemporary culture. It makes a strong case for a non-unitary or nomadic conception of the subject, in opposition to the claims of ideologies such as conservatism, liberal individualism and techno-capitalism. Braidotti takes a bold stand against moral universalism, while offering a vigorous defence of nomadic ethics against the charges of relativism and nihilism. She calls for a new form of ethical accountability that takes "Life" as the subject,...
