Abstract Posthuman figures exist in literature but not in the real world, making it a seemingly odd subject for realism. Realism as a style has, on the other hand, played a significant role in speculative fiction that ranges from science fiction to a range of canonical works in European languages.

Abstract Several distinct strains of posthumanist discourse have pointed beyond twentieth-century humanisms, but their project of alienating the human in a transhuman or transspecies commons remains elusive. Human music can aid in this project, if we gauge it against nonhuman communicative means that we habitually describe as “music” or “

Ferne Merrylees analyzes Julianna Baggott’s Pure and Marissa Meyer’s Cinder, concluding that both protagonists must accept their posthuman bodies, being organic and inorganic hybrids.

2015В статті розглянуті сучасні умови розвитку людини. Встановлено, що відбувається новий еволюційний етап формування особистості, де основними детермінантами її творення є інформатизація та технологізація суспільства, що, в свою чергу, спричиняє біфуркацію світів, в яких змушена розвиватись людина: світ культури / світ техносу, світ природи / штучний ...
