Statement of Interest:
My area in posthumanities began with the reading of Francesca Ferrando’s book Philosophical Posthumanism. After reading the book I discovered many references and that allowed me to proceed with my study. I came across important scholars such as Jussi Parikka, Haraway, Braidotti and others. I started conversations with my supervisor and tried incorporating the posthuman philosophy within my own work. From my supervisor Dr. Dabaditya Bhattachatya I got to know scholars such as Cudworth, Hobden, Colebrook and Others.
