Philosophy guiding “disenchantment of nature” and colonialism, scientific racism
definition of post-Human (past Enlightenment strictures of thought)
cite some scholars like N Katherine Hayles, Cadigan, Braidotti, Alaimo, Haraway
Why important to solarpunk?
Transhumanist versions/posthuman
not new - cyberpunk had bodiless human - cadigan specifically called out in fiction, many other authors
important to know which version is being talked about - both come with a lot of philosophical/historical baggage
admit idk much about transhumanist baggage other than that most of its proponents are wealthy, mostly white, cis men who adhere to the mind/body split doctrind
solarpunk posthuman more like Haraway’s cyborg, innocent of origins
philosophical post-Human work has been done in gender studies so reality of solarpunk cyborg won’t have to think about it
solarpunk about embodied reality, rather than disembodied (extremely expensive) fictions?
