This lecture by Prof. Braidotti was given in the occasion of the Posthumanism and Society Conference that was held in New York on 9-10 May 2015.
In contemporary scholarship, "posthuman" has emerged as a key term in the effort to redefine the human in light of multiple and profound impacts of twentieth and twentyfirst century social, philosophical and technological trends. On one hand, the biotechnological possibility of human enhancement, the growing significance of virtuality as an extension of the self, the scientific and cultural expectations of space migration have raised crucial questions which require the input of society as a whole. On the other hand, the cumulative impact of anthropocentrism has become so massive that geologists have dubbed the present era the “Anthropocene” since human actions have had a profound systemic affect, leading to an ecological point of no return. The Symposium "Posthumanism and Society" is conceived as an intellectual platform where multiple perspectives can meet and converge on these and related questions.
