European Journal of American Culture 43.3 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to present European Journal of American Culture 43.3!

 

Special Issue: ‘Recent Reflections on the Posthuman Condition in American Literature and Culture’

 

The theories and notions around the posthuman have become, in recent years, a key framework to approach contemporary culture and its products. Inspired by the growing cross-disciplinarity in the field of critical posthumanism, as well as by the increased prevalence of posthumanist ideas in North American literature and culture, this Special Issue seeks to map some recent trends regarding the understanding of the posthuman at two different levels: in terms of critical approach and regarding the types of texts explored.
