This book inquires about the poetics and politics of the Post/Humanities. In doing so, it is intended to investigate the nature of interrelationship and tension between humanism and posthumanism; to evaluate whether posthumanities can be an academic possibility or not; to explore into the queered state of human-nonhuman binary because of the emergence of transhuman, cyborg and other posthuman identities; to understand how these identities are represented in the contemporary Hollywood films; to comprehend what these selected films want us to think about our future world.
