Media Reviews
Posthuman Convergences, inspired by Rosi Braidotti's capacious vision for the posthumanities, argues for the necessity of the transversal, anticolonial, environmental, material, and feminist humanities. The wildly divergent essays undertake transdisciplinary methodological experiments, creative practices, and open dialogues, urging us to revitalize modes of inquiry essential for this perilous and precarious moment. -- Stacy Alaimo, University of Oregon
This book is a must. It is a cri de coeur for the humanities, showcasing not only their relevance of the humanities in the contemporary university but also their contribution to society. The volume demonstrates the importance of the mathematical and aesthetic imagination in providing new and critical ways of seeing the world and addressing the urgent problems engendered by the historical conditions of our meltdown age. It is precisely in the crossroads between a different sense of the mathematical and a renewed practice of critique & qualitative approaches where the fate of our world will be decided. -- Oscar Guardiola-Rivera, Birkbeck College, University of London
