Abstract
Metamorphosis of the body and the bodily images have transcended to become posthuman by investment through varied individual identity. The extent to which a person with a prosthetic or any kind of disability being qualified as a human is taken up in this paper. The book Animal’s People by Indra Sinha qualifies to be on the list of discussions of moral imperatives of philosophical posthumanism. The boy crouched due to the disaster and forced to walk on two hands and legs was further pushed to the periphery. This paper tries to analyse how humans among themselves become an embodiment of posthuman figure. The ultimate level of differentiation and the blurring of boundaries of the people between themselves as humans and animals become a posthuman tale of survival. This paper analyses how posthumanism is manifested in corporeal forms through the reconceptualization of what counts as a human. The critique of Zoe (biological existence) and Bios (fully realised life) are put into probe through the boy named Animal and his tale of life and survival throughout the years.
