This handbook is intended to provide an important resource for those interested in film, posthumanism, and how the latter is reflected (and possibly also practiced) in the former. Posthumanism has developed into a major intellectual force that influences our culture in various ways. It affects research agendas, economic developments, social policies, philosophical theories and ultimately the way we look at ourselves and the world that we inhabit. Film & television is a major source for understanding both the changes that have already happened in the world and our understanding of it under the influence of posthumanist ideas, and the changes that might happen in future. The handbook will provide a comprehensive overview over the various aspects of posthumanism and how they are represented, discussed and exemplified in the cultural medium of film and television.

This handbook is intended to provide an important resource for those interested in film, posthumanism, and how the latter is reflected (and possibly also practiced) in the former. Posthumanism has developed into a major intellectual force that influences our culture in various ways. It affects research agendas, economic developments, social policies, philosophical theories and ultimately the way we look at ourselves and the world that we inhabit. Film & television is a major source for understanding both the changes that have already happened in the world and our understanding of it under the influence of posthumanist ideas, and the changes that might happen in future. The handbook will provide a comprehensive overview over the various aspects of posthumanism and how they are represented, discussed and exemplified in the cultural medium of film and television.
