"Posthumanism represents a significant new research direction both for International Relations and the social sciences. It emerges from questions about inter-species relations which challenge dominant perceptions of what it means to be human. Rather than seeing the human species as'in nature' posthumanist thinking considers the species as'of nature'. The work of posthumanist thinkers has sought to dispute accepted notions of what it means to be human, raising profound questions about our relations with the rest of nature. The volume commences with an overview of the influence thinkers have had on the development of posthumanist thinking.Key ideas in International Relations are interrogated and reconceptualised and specific case studies are presented with a focus on inter-species relations. The work allows for a consideration of the limits of the posthumanist move and provides space for critics to argue that such an approach opens the discipline up to a biological determinism, and that a focus on inter-human relations should mark the boundaries of the discipline. The essays collected in this volume provide an overview of contributions from posthumanist thinkers with the particular intention of providing a succinct introduction to the area and should appeal to scholars and students in Politics, IR and philosophy"

ABSTRACTTranshumanism is a global movement that purposes to transform human condition by developing andcreating widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, andpsychological. The purpose of transhumanism is for immortality and human evolution.Transhumanism becomes a widespread topic in Science Fiction movie and it rises years by years. Forexample, Chappie (2015) is one of Sci-Fi movie that has the issue of how transhumanism changeshuman into a Posthuman. Transhumanism is portrayed in the alive and conscious robot namedChappie, which its consciousness is programmed by its maker, Deon Wilson. Transhumanism maylead to human extinction, which is a serious problem that we may face in the future. This researchaims to show how transhumanism is represented in the movie Chappie as a prediction of posthumanfuture life. The analysis consists of five transhumanism aspects that will be used to explain theportrayal of transhumanism in the film, and it also involves dialogues and pictures. Includedarguments are supported by some scientists’ and researchers’ theories and facts about transhumanism(textual analysis). As such, the application of these theories suggests that the representation oftranshumanism in the film could be considered opposing the human values."

"This book is designed to offer a comprehensive high-level introduction to transhumanism, an international political and cultural movement that aims to produce a paradigm shift in our ethical and political understanding of human evolution. Transhumanist thinkers want the human species to take the course of evolution into its own hands, using advanced technologies currently under development-such as robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, cognitive neurosciences, and nanotechnology-to overcome our present physical and mental limitations, improve our intelligence beyond the current maximum achievable level, acquire skills that are currently the preserve of other species, abolish involuntary aging and death, and ultimately achieve a post-human level of existence. The book covers transhumanism from a historical, philosophical, and scientific viewpoint, tracing its cultural roots, discussing the main philosophical, epistemological, and ethical issues, and reviewing the state of the art in scientific research on the topics of most interest to transhumanists. The writing style is clear and accessible for the general reader, but the book will also appeal to graduate and undergraduate students."
