Transforming the Subject: Humanity, the Body, and Posthumanism

Hellekson, Karen. "Transforming the Subject: Humanity, the Body, and Posthumanism." SFRA Review #251 (March/April 2001): 3-7.

Posthumanism, stemming from postmodernism, calls into question what it means to be human—an analysis that is easily extended to gender. It is inherent within posthumanism that gender is only a cultural construction; argues cyberpunk is pothumanist and defines itself in (Jacques) Derridean terms of deconstruction. (Maly, 01/07/02)
