We share the CFP for the 18th International Conference on Contemporary Narratives in English: “Recent Approaches to the Posthuman: Cultural Reflections on the (Post-)Human Condition,” to be held onsite at the University of Zaragoza on May 15-17, 2023.
The conference is organized by the members of the research project “Contemporary North American Fiction and the 4th Industrial Revolution: From Posthumanity to Privation and Social Change” (PID2019-106855GB-I00), which is part of the research group “Contemporary Narrative in English” (H03_20R) at the Department of English and American Studies of the University of Zaragoza, Spain.
This conference seeks to explore recent reflections on the posthuman condition in literature and other media, as well as recent developments in the fields of critical posthumanism, transhumanism, critical animal studies and the new materialisms. This conference also aims to bring to the fore the ethical and political implications of the representation of the embeddedness and relationality of the (post)human, the machine, the nonhuman animal and matter, while also exploring the connection between literature and other media, criticism and the world.
