Posthuman Subjectivity in the Novels of J.G. Ballard (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In dialogue with posthuman thought, this book argues that Ballard's fiction affirms the expansive powers of the human body to create openings in the limited present. This book also positions the transgressive private mythologies of Ballard's characters as strategies of survival and endurance in surrealist everyday catastrophes.
