Summary:

From AI to climate change, recent technological, ecological, cultural, and social transformations have unsettled established assumptions about the relationship between the human and the more-than-human world. 'Screening the Posthuman' addresses a heterogenous body of twenty-first century films that turn to the figure of the 'posthuman' as a means of exploring this development.
