Volume 23, Numbers 1-2
This issues engages posthumanism in ways that avoid flattening “the human” into a monolithic or homogenous problematic. Its takes up posthumanism in relation to the crisis of the humanities and the ongoing crises faced by marginalized “humans” around the globe. It asks how might posthumanist thought by symptomatic of the crisis of the humanities and higher education more broadly? How has posthumanist inquiry ignored the lived heterogeneities of humanness distributed across raced, classed, gendered, and differently abled bodies? How can posthumanism’s critical political project benefit from being brought into intimate connection with critical race, queer, feminist, anti-colonial, and disability theories?
