| Zusammenfassung: | The subject of the posthuman, of what it means to be or to cease to be human, is emerging as a shared point of debate at large in the natural and social sciences and the humanities. This volume asks what classical learning can bring to the table of posthuman studies, assembling chapters that explore how exactly the human self of Greek and Latin literature understands its own relation to animals, monsters, objects, cyborgs and robotic devices. With its widely diverse habitat of heterogeneous bodies, minds, and selves, classical literature again and again blurs the boundaries between the human and the non-human; not to equate and confound the human with its other, but playfully to highlight difference and hybridity, as an invitation to appraise the animal, monstrous or mechanical/machinic parts lodged within humans. This comprehensive collection unites contributors from across the globe, each delving into a different classical text or narrative and its configuration of human subjectivity-how human selves relate to other entities around them. For students and scholars of classical literature and the posthuman, this book is a first point of reference |

This volume asks what classical learning can bring to the table of posthuman studies, assembling chapters that explore how exactly the human self of Greek and Latin literature understands its own relation to animals, monsters, objects, cyborgs and robotic devices. With its widely diverse habitat of heterogeneous bodies, minds, and selves, classical literature again and again blurs the boundaries between the human and the non-human; not to equate and confound the human with its other, but playfully to highlight difference and hybridity, as an invitation to appraise the animal, monstrous or mechanical/machinic parts lodged within humans. This comprehensive collection unites contributors from across the globe, each delving into a different classical text or narrative and its configuration of human subjectivity-how human selves relate to other entities around them. For students and scholars of classical literature and the posthuman, this book is a first point of reference Ungeheuer (DE-588)4078547-6 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Tiere Motiv (DE-588)4185464-0 gnd rswk-swf Antike (DE-588)4068754-5 gnd rswk-swf Philosophische Anthropologie (DE-588)4045798-9 gnd rswk-swf Posthumanismus (DE-588)4801863-6 gnd rswk-swf Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 gnd rswk-swf Classical literature / History and criticism Animals in literature Monsters in literature Machinery in literature Machine theory in literature Cyborgs in literature Philosophical anthropology in literature Object (Philosophy) in literature Classical literature Criticism, interpretation, etc (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Mythologie der Griechen (DE-2581)TH000006466 gbd Rezeption & Wirkungsgeschichte (DE-2581)TH000005250 gbd Griechische Literatur (DE-2581)TH000005164 gbd Antike (DE-588)4068754-5 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Posthumanismus (DE-588)4801863-6 s Ungeheuer (DE-588)4078547-6 s Tiere Motiv (DE-588)4185464-0 s Philosophische Anthropologie (DE-588)4045798-9 s Rezeption (DE-588)4049716-1 s DE-604 Chesi, Giulia Maria (DE-588)1079251901 edt Spiegel, Francesca (DE-588)1202610633 edt Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, PDF 978-1-3500-6952-7 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-1-3500-6951-0 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=031688603&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
