Children Literature And The Posthuman Animal, Environment, Cyborg

An investigation of identity formation in children’s literature, this book brings together children’s literature and recent critical concerns with posthuman identity to argue that children’s fiction offers sophisticated interventions into debates about what it means to be human, and in particular about humanity’s relationship to animals and the natural world.


In complicating questions of human identity, ecology, gender, and technology, Jaques engages with a multifaceted posthumanism to understand how philosophy can emerge from children’s fantasy, disclosing how such fantasy can build upon earlier traditions to represent complex issues of humanness to younger audiences.
