Overview
What you will learn
Cyborgs, post-human, transhuman, life 2.0, non-binary, animate/inanimate, humans living amongst and interacting with animals, plants, things, objects, the planet. What matters? How are we anchored by history, by memory, by ritual, by tradition, by the limits of our “signifying” bodies? And what are the states of mind characterising our limitations? Finally, how do we deal with denial, defense, (in)sensitivity, carelessness, discomfort?
This Biosocial Ethics - Limits of the Human course at Malmö University dives into speculations about some of the most fundamental questions shaping contemporary culture and society: What is involved in being human? And does the category of the human need to be reimagined or reinterpreted in moving towards the future?
