TITLE :POSTHUMAN TURN
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the critical transition from classical humanism to posthumanism, focusing on how traditional notions of the human—as rational, autonomous, and universally male—are being radically redefined. Drawing on post-structuralism, feminist and queer theory, critical race theory, and disability studies, it interrogates how humanism has historically excluded non-normative bodies and identities. Critical posthumanism challenges the centrality of the human by highlighting our entanglement with technology, environment, and other life forms. It proposes a new ethical and ontological framework that emphasizes shared vulnerability over individual agency, destabilizing the boundaries between human, non-human, and machine
