This seminar poses post-humanist alternatives to the conceptual constraints and aesthetic limitations imposed by static interpretations of sustainability. Post-humanism envisions radically different boundaries than those that have traditionally governed the interaction between politics, bodies, buildings, and the environment. Grounded in analysis of texts and case studies, the seminar investigates contemporary architectural responses to post-humanism’s challenge to identity, politics, and subject formation. Limited enrollment.
