What if today?s ?critical posthumanisms,? even as they distance themselves from the iconic representations of the Renaissance, are in fact moving ever closer to ideas in works from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century? What if ?the human? is at once embedded and embodied in, evolving with, and de-centered amid a weird tangle of animals, environments, and vital materiality? Seeking those patterns of thought and practice, contributors to this collection focus on moments wherein Renaissance humanism looks retrospectively like an uncanny ?contemporary??and ally?of twenty-first-century critical posthumanism. 606 $aHumanism 606 $aRenaissance 606 $aHumanities 606 $aPost-postmodernism 610 $aAnimal Studies. 610 $aEcology. 610 $aHuman. 610 $aMilton. 610 $aPosthumanism. 610 $aRabelais. 610 $aRenaissance Humanism. 610 $aShakespeare. 610 $aTitian. 615 0$aHumanism. 615 0$aRenaissance. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aPost-postmodernism. 676 $a190 676 $a190 702 $aCampana$b Joseph$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMaisano$b Scott$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823001903321 996 $aRenaissance Posthumanism$94047679 997 $aUNINA
