Exploring the representation of maids in contemporary Bollywood movies
“Much Abides”
The article demonstrates how Brian Koukol’s Handicapsules: Short Stories of Speculative Crip Lit (2021) is an important corpus of work that represents the emerging genre of crip lit. The article aims to inform the wider understanding of crip knowledge and demonstrate how Koukol’s crip lit provides a platform for individuals who identify as crip to have their unique voices, perspectives, and stories included and valued in mainstream literature.

The Aesthetics of Posthuman Interactivity in Bandersnatch
This article examines the film Bandersnatch from the Netflix series Black Mirror to reveal how interactive narratives may function like Katherine Hayles’s concept of the “cyborg”: as a hybrid existence of human agency subject to, integrated into, and operating within a world that is partially/substantially dictated by the possibilities of technology. Using posthumanism and postmodernism as theoretical frameworks, this essay interrogates how inter…

Using posthumanism as a framework, the essay demonstrates how this process interrogates and critiques the ‘human’ condition and focuses on the idea of the boundary collapse between the human…
Reading Hypertext as Cyborg
This essay examines Patchwork Girl by Shelley Jackson to reveal how hypertext functions like the posthuman concept of the cyborg defined by Haraway as “a condensed image of bothimagination and material reality.” For the theoretical framework, I draw on Katherine Hayles and Rosi Braidotti’s theories of Posthumanism and cyborg subjectivity, among other Postmodernist Feminist ideas of the body and visual culture. Using these theories, my essay will …
