	abstract = {In\&nbsp;Fantasies of Self-Mourning\&nbsp;Ruben Borg describes the formal features of a posthuman, cyborgian imaginary at work in modernism. The book{\textquoteright}s central claim is that modernism invents the posthuman as a way to think through the contradictions of its historical moment. Borg develops a posthumanist critique of the concept of organic life based on comparative readings of Pirandello,\&nbsp;Woolf, Beckett, and Flann O{\textquoteright}Brien, alongside discussions of Alfred Hitchcock, Chris Marker, B{\'e}la Tarr, Ridley Scott and Mamoru Oshii. The argument draws together a cluster of modernist narratives that contemplate the separation of a cybernetic eye from a human body, or call for a tearing up of the body understood as a discrete organic unit capable of synthesizing desire and sense perception.},
