Description

Problematic assumptions which see humans as special and easily defined as standing apart from animals, plants, and microbiota, both consciously and unconsciously underpin scientific investigation, arts practice, curation, education, and research across the social sciences and humanities. This is the case particularly in those traditions emerging from European and Enlightenment philosophies. Posthumanism disrupts these traditional humanist outlooks and interrogates their profound shaping of how we see ourselves, our place in the world, and our role in its protection. In Posthumanism in Practice, artists, researchers, educators, and curators set out how they have developed and responded to posthumanist ideas across their work in the arts, sciences, and humanities, and provide examples and insights to support the exploration of posthumanism in how we can think, create, and live. In capturing these ideas, Posthumanism in Practice shows how posthumanist thought can move beyond theory, inform action, and produce new artefacts, effects, and methods that are more relevant and more useful for the incoming realities for all life in the 21st century.

Author Biography:

Christine Daigle is Director of the Posthumanism Research Institute at Brock University, Canada. Her work investigates ontological and ethical questions related to posthuman subjectivity and the environmental posthumanities. She currently collaborates with a theatre company on a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) funded project exploring the posthuman of tomorrow via creative practice. Matt Hayler is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Literature and Digital Cultures at the University of Birmingham, UK. He has taught courses related to trans- and posthumanism and digital cultures for the last 10 years. His research has looked at posthumanist approaches in the philosophy of technology (Challenging the Phenomena of Technology, 2015) and the production and reception of digital texts (Ambient Literature, 2020), and he now focuses on the meeting points of posthumanism, weird fiction, human enhancement, disability studies, and digital cultures.
