This is the first book to make the argument for an emancipatory project from within a posthuman framework. Responding to critics, Cudworth and Hobden argue that while some posthumanisms may be less critical, it is possible to develop a political programme from a posthuman perspective.

Cudworth and Hobden develop such issues by addressing the following questions: How have ideas about emancipation been developed, and does the notion of emancipation still hold relevance for the contemporary world order? Is it possible to have a non-Utopian form of emancipation? What are the implications of differing posthuman/new materialist viewpoints for an emancipatory project? In a world typified by complexity, how is it possible to pursue political projects? The chapters consider various interpretations of the term 'emancipation', looking at work that has appeared within the posthumanist framework such as Bruno Latour, William Connolly, and Jane Bennett.

The authors develop their own account of posthumanism, demonstrating how it avoids the problems that have been found within this framework, and considering the possibilities for emancipatory projects and public policy. It will be of great interest to postgraduates and scholars of International Relations, Political Theory, Environmental Studies, and Sociology.

Industry Reviews

'Cudworth and Hobden continue to take their thought-provoking work on posthumanism in fascinating directions. This is not just analysis and interpretation-it is a manifesto for transforming the world.' - Brett Bowden, Western Sydney University

'It is past time for a truly transformative emancipatory politics for mortal beings on the earth, human and nonhuman. This book is a guiding thread for that transformation. This is a book for Terrans, for earthly beings united in crafting radical multispecies environmental justice in opposition to the ravages of ongoing capitalist, colonialist, racist, human exceptionalist, and misogynist extractions. Terraists Unite!' - Donna J Haraway, University of California, Santa Cruz

Cudworth and Hobden follow up their ground-breaking Posthuman International Relations with an important, provocative new statement: The Emancipatory Project of Posthumanism. This book not only beautifully summarises, dissects, engages, and critiques the existing controversies within and surrounding posthumanism, but also puts forward a powerful new statement for a critical posthuman terraism. In the context of the ecological, economic and political challenges we are faced with today this is precisely the kind of bold and imaginative - and yet immediately relevant and concrete - intervention we need to reimagine planetary relations, communities and politics. - Milja Kurki, Aberystwyth University
