【 摘 要 】
Transhumanism is interrogated from critical race theoretical and decolonial perspectives with a view to establishing its âalgorithmicâ relationship to historical processes of race formation (or racialization) within Euro-American historical experience. Although the Transhumanist project is overdetermined vis-à -vis its raison-dâêtre, it is argued that a useful way of thinking about this project is in terms of its relationship to the shifting phenomenon of âwhitenessâ. It is suggested that Transhumanism constitutes a techno-scientific response to the phenomenon of âWhite Crisisâ at least partly prompted by âcriticalâ posthumanist contestation of Eurocentrically-universal humanism.
