Reviews"This volume of, a journal of design at the HarvardUniversity Graduate School of Design, centers on the theme of the posthuman, defined here as a time period when human existence is transformed bytechnological, ecological, and political forces. International contributors in urban design, architecture, cultural theory, design philosophy, and geographydescribe speculative and physical projects related to design as a geographical agent, urban landscapes, and posthuman geographies in the early 21st century.They use geographic and design thinking as interpretive lenses through which to trace how biogenetic capitalism, biotechnology, and information technologyhave destabilized the human-centered environment, and how design can interact with posthuman geographies. The book contains color and b&w photos,illustrations, and images." --ProtoView

Synopsis"Posthuman" signals a historical condition in which the coordinates of human existence on the planet are altered by profound technological, ecological, biopolitical, and spatial transformations. Engendering new ways of being in the world, this condition challenges long-established definitions of the "human," and by extension, of the human environment. Interpreting design as a geographical agent deeply involved in the territorial engravings of contemporary urbanization, New Geographies 09 investigates the urban landscapes shaping the posthuman geographies of the early 21st century, fostering a wide-ranging debate about both the potentials and challenges for design to engage with the complex spatialities, more-than-human ecologies, and diverse forms and habits of life in a post-anthropocentric world. With Contributions by Rosalind Williams, Erik Swyngedouw, Cary Wolfe, McKenzie Wark, Jason Moore, Benjamin Bratton, Luciana Parisi, Eyal Weizman, Shannon Mattern, Rosetta Elkin, Mimi Sheller, and Stephen Graham, among others., "Posthuman" signals a historical condition in which the coordinates of human existence on the planet are altered by profound technological, ecological, biopolitical, and spatial transformations.
