A Zhuangzian Tangle: Corroborating (Orientalism in?) Posthumanist Approaches to Subjectivities and Flourishings

Posthumanist critics such as Braidotti-informed by the antihumanisms of Foucault, Irigaray, and Deleuze-seek to respond to advanced capitalism by promoting what they take to be a radical transformation of what it means to be "human," a way of conceiving being human that is thoroughly and c...

520 |a Posthumanist critics such as Braidotti-informed by the antihumanisms of Foucault, Irigaray, and Deleuze-seek to respond to advanced capitalism by promoting what they take to be a radical transformation of what it means to be "human," a way of conceiving being human that is thoroughly and consistently post-anthropocentric. Braidotti calls out advanced capitalism's global economy as being inconsistently post-anthropocentric. In response, I first lay out ways through which posthumanists can find corroboration in Asian religious thought, such as in Zhuangzi and classical Chan (Zen) Buddhism. I simply put forth, basically side by side, posthumanist positions on subjectivity and flourishing and parallels in Zhuangzi and Chan. This may strike some as sophomoric, which is in part what I hope to illustrate: just how easy it is to find corroboration in these Asian religious resources. This leads to my second issue. Given such conveniently available resources, what might this tell us about limitations in posthumanist Humanities and posthumanist critical theory as developed so far? I seek to bring out both a possible covert form of Orientalism in posthumanism and a myopic methodology in excluding Religious Studies in general as paradigmatic of posthumanist Humanities.
