BAHAREH AZAD is doing a joint PhD program in English literature at University of Isfahan, Iran and ۲ݮƵ University. Her main interest lies in contemporary poetry, gender and disability studies, power politics, and Persian literature. She has authored Testing Liberal Humanism: The East in David Hare’s Plays and is doing her dissertation on Jeremy Halvard Prynne, which offers a Virilian reading of posthumanism in his poetry. In her politically oriented researches, she has also focused on anti-establishment works of Native Americans and on the Middle East issues. “How They Became Posthuman: Mapping Native American Margins through Politics of the Body” investigates the Ojibwe poet Heid Erdrich’s indigenous encounter with technical discourses of microbiology and cybernetics through chimeric subjectivities.
