The Posthuman Zine Part 1 &2
The Posthuman zines were created by Noriko as an attempt to summarise and gain a greater understanding of Rosi Braidotti's article ' A Theoretical Framework for the Critical Posthumanities'. Noriko extracted texts from the original article through slow and careful reading. The texts were appropriated for the making of the zines. This process allowed Noriko to reflect further on the meaning of posthuman as well as to consider how the idea of critical posthumanies can impact the practices in the contemporary academic environments.
Noriko was interested to explore the process of reading and making through the format of zines. Zines are commonly understood as a self-published, non-commercial print work often used as a form of self expression and activism. Zines embrace strong connections to DIY culture that can highlight potentials of embodied engagement and collaboration. Noriko believes that zines can open up a unique space within contemporary academia that can create scholarship that does not have to rely on traditional institutional structures of power and privilege but on community, care and slow work.
The physical copy of the zines were shared with the PIRG members and the PDF versions can be accessed by clicking on the images of the zines below.
