POSTHUMANISM IS A MOVEMENT ON THE BORDER BETWEEN SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE AND FICTION: BASED ON THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF COMMUNICATION, AS WELL AS THE LEGACY OF CYBERPUNK DYSTOPIA, IT OFFERS A VISION OF A TRANSITION FROM HUMAN TO THE SO CALLED POSTHUMAN. THE POSTHUMAN IS SEEN AS AN OFFSPRING OF TECHNOCULTURE, THE SYNTHESIS OF LIVING AND ARTIFICIAL, A LOOSELY EVOLVING ENTITY WITHOUT FIXED ONTOLOGICAL BOUNDARIES. THE EXISTENCE OF POSTHUMAN LIES BEYOND DUALISTIC CATEGORIZATION, HAS A PROCESSUAL CHARACTER AND REFUSES ANY ESSENTIALIST APPROACH.

IT IS AN ATTRACTIVE A SYMBOL OF TRANSGRESSION AND A SEXY POSTMODERN SLOGAN,HOWEVER, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, POSTHUMAN IS A METAPHOR ADOPTED BY A VARIETY OF NARRATIVES FOCUSED ON THE POTENTIAL ASPECTS

OF TECHNOLOGICALLY EXTENDED LIFE: FROM SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS, THROUGH SCIENCE-FICTION, UP TO ITS

ARTISTIC APPROPRIATIONS. POSTHUMANISM HAS ALWAYS BEEN APPROACHED AS A LIMINAL TRANSDISCIPLINARY FIELD LOCATED ON

THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ART.
