Talk:Posthuman (critical theory)

Expansion
I've begun to add supplemental parts whenever I have the time. This article probably needs to be "inserted" into articles which refer or implicitly reference this idea.--AdamFJohnson 16:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree but we need to cite sources the paragraphs that don't have any. --Loremaster 16:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Posthuman Manifesto
There is also a "Posthuman Manifesto", published by Robert Pepperell, which is also available at http://www.robertpepperell.com/Posthum/cont.htm. I don't have the time right now to check this, but maybe it should be mentioned in the article. Zarkumo 22:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hayles
The quote from Hayles as it is presented misrepresents what she’s saying. She is not espousing those as ideals to embrace. She's saying we need to have a notion of information that is not disembodied, or we're going to make the same mistakes that liberal humanism makes, eliminating the body, envisioning ourselves as minds trapped in bodies. She says we need to reimagine the body in relation to technology, as embodied subjects--and understand ourselves as subjects constituted by embodiedness as well as mind/information. She is directly opposing everything listed in that quote. We should edit it to reflect that context.Mothqueen 16:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)mothqueen


 * You're totally right. I'll try to make a change soon. --AdamFJohnson 17:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed the quote because it was confusing --AdamFJohnson 19:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but Hayles has a gift for supporting everything she's trying to resist, at least in my opinion. The fact that the reader has difficulty interpreting, out of context, that she means disembodied information is bad only shows how far her readers have gone into the realm of disembodied information, such as the Wikipedia.  --User:RamonArjona
