Description :
In the paper, the A. rethinks some of the premises in industrial-era social ontologies by rethinking how hybridized agencies, like cyborgs, actor networks, or humachines, decenter anthropocentric modernist conceptions of man and the environment. He explores how cyborg life-forms or humanistic social formations are reshaping the natural and social environments of contemporary fast capitalism on a global scale.
