El planeta hembra de Gabriela Bustelo: descifrando una identidad poshumana

Abstract

Some critics have argued that Posthumanism both precedes but also follows Humanism. Many of those crities also agree that Posthumanism must be conceived as a paradigm driven and sustained by exponential technological and scientific developments and their impact in reconfiguring normative conceptions concerning our understanding of what it means to be human. Gabriela Bustelo's Female Planet (Planeta hembra) offers a valid approach to exploring notions of such a posthuman condition in which the merging of biology and machine redesigns notions of human identity, drives human desire and reshapes attitudes regarding issues of power, sex and gender struggles.

Algunos críticos han afirmado que el poshumanismo tanto precede como sigue al humanismo. Muchos de ellos concuerdan en que el poshumanismo ha de concebirse como un paradigma informado por avances tecnocientíficos que sirven para reconfigurar nuestra forma de definir lo humano. Planeta hembra, de Gabriela Bustelo, nos ofrece un buen ejemplo de la confluencia poshumana de biología y máquina en cuanto a las dimensiones de poder, sexo, y género se refiere.
