Poppy Wilde is Senior Lecturer in Media and Communication at Birmingham City University, UK. Her work focuses on what it means and how it feels to be posthuman, by exploring how posthuman subjectivities are entangled and embodied.
"""Posthuman Gaming sounds like a paradoxical proposition: a posthumanist account of digital gameplay, grounded in rich autoethnographic reflections on the author’s personal relationship with her avatar. But by using her individual experiences to think through the limits of individualism Wilde demonstrates how the conceptual and methodological tools we have inherited from humanism can be repurposed to imagine more ethical and empathetic posthuman futures - and how videogames might help us get there.""
