Posthumanism is a heterogeneous mode of thought, in many ways connected with poststructuralism. As a matter of fact, it may even be said to constitute a technocultural extension of poststructuralism’s critical attitude, also known as antihumanism by the 20th century French theorists. However, as opposed to the negation and destruction implied in antihumanism, posthumanism not only postulates the „death of man”, but also questions in a deeper way the ontological status of human beings, and how the humanist project can be reinterpreted, or even abandoned, in light of postmodern cultural shifts in late modernity. Posthumanism relates to humanism in many ways analogously to the manner in which postmodernism connects with modernity. In my research and university courses, I examine the pop cultural, aesthetic, and anthropologival context of this line of thinking.
