Posthumanism, Transhumanism, (Bio)Technologies and Dadaistic Legacy

Summary/Abstract: Posthumanistic critique supersede the complex construct of the Modern, repudiating the modernist tradition through the procedure of equalization it with the rationalist paradigm and Cartesian model of the subject. Transhumanists are a subject of criticism of both postmodernism and posthumanism because of the similarity of transhumanistic paradigm with reflections of Cartesian dualism – if the identity is equated with the mind as a universal model. The purpose of this paper is to locate, correlate and interpret the major theoretical axis which throught the Avant-garde of Dadaism and Postmodernism resonates into Transhumanism as well – where exceeding the organic nature of human is a philosophical question, again, open to the social and technological reality, whence originate the new perspectives on the essential anthropogenic questions: who are we, where it begins and where it ends individuality i.e. whether the individual is absolutely distinguished from the other – and what could be assumed as an individual?
