To confirm the potential of critical posthumanism in Yi Sang literature, this article dealt with two main points. First, we examined whether the core spirit or characteristics contained in the ‘getting out-human’ project of critical posthumanism are linked to Yi Sang’s vision of humans and art. The core spirit or characteristics of critical posthumanism are latent in the form of seeds in the holistic human and holistic art pursued by Yi Sang, who was influenced by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy’s holistic human and holistic art. The holistic human and holistic art pursued by these two artists are in line with the posthuman and posthuman art pursued by critical posthumanism.
Second, Yi Sang’s vision of holistic human and holistic art was examined in connection with the vision of critical posthumanism. What this article focuses on is the hybrid human and hybrid literature motifs produced by Yi Sang’s overlapping constructive perspective. This article mainly uses Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman subject composition method to find out that hybrid humans and hybrid literature motifs drawn by Yi Sang’s evolutionary and reverse-evolutionary thinking and imagination are related to critical posthumanism. Regarding the identification of hybrid literature motifs, it revealed the two characteristics of Yi Sang literature as posthuman art: the fusion of nature and civilization, and the merger of life and technology.
