A human. A post. A duck-sized horse. Is this WestWorld? Maybe. In CyborgCo: Posthumanism, Selves, and the Anthropocene, we will explore what it means to be human—and potentially whether “human” still has any meaning at all. This seminar course will explore posthumanism—a word to describe this particular existential territory—through philosophy, theory, technology, art, and popular culture, including Donna Haraway’s feminist interpretation of the cyborg, popular movies and TV shows such as Akira & Black Mirror, and even poetry written by artificial intelligence. We will discuss questions such as technology’s impact on the self, human hubris & anthropocentrism, and whether we ourselves are still human—or whether it might be better to forget the word human altogether. Our goal is to enrich our knowledge of the current day and even the future, but student need no prior knowledge to enjoy the course—only a willingness to question everything. This class is in-person and largely discussion based with readings and artistic/written projects.
