An Ethicallybased Approach To Human Relations For The Media Ageotherness, Alterity, The Alienover The Course Of The Past Fifty Years Many Of Us Have Based Our Hopes For More Ethical Relationships On Concepts Of Difference. Combining Philosophy, Literary Criticism, Fiction, Autobiography, And Real And Imagined Correspondence, Ann Weinstone Proposes That Only When We Stop Ordering The Other To Be Otherwhether Technological, Animal, Or Simply Inanimatewill We Truly Become Posthuman.Posthumanism Has Thus Far Focused Nearly Exclusively On Humantechnology Relations. Avatar Bodies Develops A Posthumanist Vocabulary For Humantohuman Relationships That Turns Our Capacities For Devotion, Personality, And Pleasure. Drawing On Both The Philosophies And Practices Of Indian Tantra, Weinstone Argues For The Impossibility Of Absolute Otherness; We Are All Avatar Bodies, Consisting Of Undecidably Shared Gestures, Skills, Memories, Sensations, Beliefs, And Affects.Weinstone Calls Her Book A Tantraby Which She Means A Set Of Instructions For Practices Aimed At Sensitizing The Reader To The Inherent Permeability Of Self To Other, Self To World. This Tantra For Posthumanism Elaborates Devotional Gestures That Will Expose Us To More Unfettered Contacts And The Transformative Touch.
