Posthumanism

Abstract This review is divided into three sections that, taken together, map the state and shape of the year’s work in posthumanism. The first section, ‘Surveys, Elaborations, and Trajectories’, considers works that explore multiple dimensions of posthumanism, with some choosing to focus on specific thematics, antecedents, or connections. This sections maps the sustained interest in genealogies of the posthuman, particularly its intersections with older intellectual debates and current concepts of personhood. Section 2, ‘Pedagogy and Research’, turns to work at the intersections of posthumanism and the field of education and pedagogy comprising, aside from the surveys, the most voluminous body of work in posthumanism over the course of 2024. Curriculum, pedagogy, and posthumanist thought have together produced a challenging and interesting shift in the field of education, and works in this field surveyed here offer a glimpse into a rapidly expanding domain. The final section, ‘Posthumanism in Literature and Culture’, demonstrates that literary and cultural texts remain at the forefront of enunciations of the posthuman.
