In complicating questions of human identity, ecology, gender, and technology, Jaques engages with a multifaceted posthumanism to understand how philosophy can emerge from childrens fantasy, disclosing how such fantasy can build upon earlier traditions to represent complex issues of humanness to younger audiences. Interrogating the place of the human through the non-human (whether animal or mechanical) leads this book to have interpretations that radically depart from the critical tradition, which, in its concerns with the socialization and representation of the child, has ignored larger epistemologies of humanness. The book considers canonical texts of childrens literature alongside recent bestsellers and films, locating texts such as Gullivers Travels (1726), Pinocchio (1883) and the Alice books (1865, 1871) as important works in the evolution of posthuman ideas. This study provides radical new readings of childrens literature and demonstrates that the genre offers sophisticated interventions into the nature, boundaries and dominion of humanity....3524714Childrens Literature and the Posthuman12971297https://www.gandhi.com.mx/childrens-literature-and-the-posthuman-9781136674914/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3069309/8e00ecd8-11a8-48c5-ae63-4ae128d6803b.jpg?v=638384838039170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20159781136674914_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9781136674914_An investigation of identity formation in childrens literature, this book brings together childrens literature and recent critical concerns with posthuman identity to argue that childrens fiction offers sophisticated interventions into debates about what it means to be human, and in particular about humanitys relationship to animals and the natural world.
