Summary
This collection stages a dynamic scholarly debate about the ambivalent workings of technocapitalism and humanism in urban spaces. Such workings are intended to provide multiple forms of autonomy and empowerment but instead create intolerable contradictions that are experienced in the form of a slavish adherence to machines. Representing the novelty of a post-anthropocentric grammar, this book points towards a new ethical and political praxis. It challenges the anthropocentrism of bio-politics and neoliberalism in order to express the constitutive potential of an eco-sensible new earth. Dr. Saswat S. Das is an Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. He is the co-author of Taking Place of Language (2013) and the co-editor of Deleuze, Guattari and the Global Pandemics (forthcoming). His book reviews are regularly published in Postcolonial Studies, South Central Review, Cultural Politics, French Studies, and Philosophy in Review. Dr. Ananya Roy Pratihar is Assistant Professor in Communication Studies at the Institute of Management and Information Science, Bhubaneswar, India. She is the co-editor of Deleuze, Guattari and the Global Pandemics (forthcoming). Her book reviews and articles are published in Philosophy in Review and Exchanges.
