Beskrivning
Explores the history and theory of personhood in the Renaissance periodOffers the first sustained study of the history and theory of personhood in the Renaissance periodProvides a study of personhood from a materialist perspectiveModels new way of entering posthumanist critique – animal studies, ecocriticism, and food studies – into conversation with legal theory, cultural history, and literary studiesUnfolding as a series of materially oriented studies ranging from chairs, machines and doors to trees, animals and food, this book retells the story of Renaissance personhood as one of material relations and embodied experience, rather than of emergent notions of individuality and freedom. The book assembles an international team of leading scholars to formulate a new account of personhood in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, one that starts with the objects, environments and physical processes that made personhood legible.

Recensioner i media

Merging law and literature with environmental humanities, this timely and innovative volume discloses personhood as a reifying machine that instrumentalises the liberty it protects and retools subjects as objects in institutions such as slavery and marriage. Yet the authors also present personhood, especially when it passes through literature and art, as an enduring resource for recognising potential subjects in their creaturely variety.
