After prompting an initial sense of novelty and shock, posthumanism has become a discourse whose unsettling anticipations of the future and timely critiques of the present have firmly established themselves within the academy. Posthumanism’s concerns—typically relating to the impacts of bio- and digital technology on body, mind, culture, and epistemology—are now part of mainstream debate within the humanities and within interdisciplinary explorations of the integrity of the human. Critical Posthumanisms is a new series focusing on the exciting rise of posthumanism and its probable directions. It makes available studies by scholars whose perspectives on the posthuman vary in important and interesting ways, and should serve as a crucial point of reference for anybody working within the field. Books within the series provide: (a) analyses of the histories, idioms, and canons of different “posthumanisms”; (b) discussion of the main thinkers and trends of posthumanism; (b) alternative formulations of posthumanism, which downplay the centrality of technology; (c) philosophical and political critiques of the "prosthesization" of the human; (d) cross-disciplinary takes on posthumanism, particularly those allowing the humanities to engage with areas like Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Virtual Reality, etc. Editorial Address: Dr Ivan Callus Department of English Faculty of Arts University of Malta Msida MSD06 Malta Email: Ivan Callus Dr. Stefan Herbrechter Anglistisches Seminar Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg Postfach 10 57 60 D-69047 Heidelberg Germany Email: Stefan Herbrechter ---------------------------- Forthcoming volumes: Volume 1.
