Description
Breaking new ground in the field of posthumanism, this volume moves beyond theory to explore how posthumanist ideas are being applied to real-world contexts, from psychotherapy and design to environmental action. Edited by Christine Daigle, Matt Hayler and Danielle Sands, this international collection builds on the first homonymous volume (2023), to show how posthumanism can inform action and produce new artefacts, effects and methods.
Artists, designers, educators and more demonstrate how embracing a more entangled, porous view of human subjectivity has led to innovative practices and ethical reorientation in their work. Chapters explore topics such as Ben'zaa water sowing rituals in Mexico, the artistic activism of South Korea's Yellow Island Metaverse and a new materialist orientation to trauma informed design. This variety of case studies provides a rich source of inspiration for less human-centred methods, with toolkits and how-tos that will benefit students, practitioners and scholars alike.
Featuring writers from 13 different countries from the Global North and South and from disciplines ranging from philosophy to digital cultures and environmental humanities, this volume offers an interdisciplinary map of posthumanist praxis. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how posthumanist thinking is already reshaping disciplines across the arts, sciences and humanities, and how it might guide us toward more inclusive, responsive and sustainable futures.
