Contemporary cultural theory has been overtaken with a posthumanist conc for the biopolitical or the definition and organization of life. Life,in the posthumanist t,is re-defined as postlife, or as that which breaks with enlightenment and scientific attempts to contain life and actively resists categorization,conceptualization,and theorization.This essay is a critique of the postlife theories of the posthumanist t,which have come to dominate both cultural theory and popular culture.Through a close reading of Giorgio Agamben’s (2013) The Highest Poverty,alongside an analysis of the film Her (Jonze et al.2013),I argue that what passes for a conc with the boundaries and treatment of life is,in actuality,a displacement of the fundamental cause of the heightening contradictions of global capitalism,namely,the exploitation of labor.By ting the contradictions of the social into the consequences of a political apparatus determined at the level of ideas,posthumanist theories of life dematerialize the causes of inequality and in their place substitute a reality without materiality and thus without any true potential for transformation.
