‘Sparks in everything’ or ‘A tearful overnight understanding’: posthuman becoming in the empty space trilogy

  • Timothy Jarvis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter argues that the works of M. John Harrison's Kefahuchi Tract trilogy, comprising, Light, Nova Swing, and Empty Space, offer affective maps of the posthuman terrain. Exploring the novels' allusions to the work of Deleuze and Guattari, and to Gnostic cosmonogy, this chapter explores the picture the works offer of a becoming posthuman.
