Kollectiv, Galia and Kollectiv, Pil (2017) Towards an anti-humanist critique of immaterial labour, or how to negotiate with vampires. In: Audiovisual Posthumanism. Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Cambridge, pp. 343-354. ISBN 9781443881777

Type of Research: Book Section
Creators: Kollectiv, Galia and Kollectiv, Pil
Description:

Through close reading of Marx and a brief survey of post-Fordist theorisations of the relationship between art and labour, the essay proposes that artists must abandon humanist attachments to the exceptionalism of creative labour and forge an anti-humanist solidarity with others as workers in general.

Additional Information (Publicly available):

This volume deals with the challenges posthumanism meets as a successor to postmodernism in the field of artistic, literary and aesthetic expression. It also explores the ways social sciences and humanities are affected by posthumanism, and it asks how posthumanism can be an expansion of humanism in the contemporary world, rather than a transcendence of humanism. The chapters’ authors come from different countries, cultural backgrounds and study areas to present a varied perspective on posthumanism.
