"Its Genetic Code is New". Exploring Posthumanism in Zadie Smith's White Teeth
This paper discusses "Posthumanism" via examining the relation between technology and literature with a particular reference to the works of Katherine Hayles and Cary Wolfe. This paper is divided into two main parts. The first part tends to be an introductory theoretical one. It begins by surveying the history and development of the term 'Posthumanism', especially in literary studies. This part, also, highlights the remarkable role of posthumanist thinkers and critics whose works lead to the rise of digital or computational literature. The second part focuses on the effects of technology on literature. This part of the paper provides a comprehensive analysis of Zadie Smith's novel White Teeth in the light of posthumanism.
