Posthuman Adventuring... cover

Posthuman Adventuring… immerses readers in a transdisciplinary methodology that merges images and sounds to inspire ongoing dialogue and provoke imaginative inquiry. Through a compilation of thought-provoking chapters, the book connects readers to original presentations by renowned posthuman thinkers and offers responses from various authors.

The collection showcases groundbreaking posthuman research conducted by scholars, artists, community-based practitioners, and doctoral students across diverse contexts, spanning from forced migration to intergenerational relationships, from plants to bears, and from collective writing to reimagining social structures. With its experimental practices and transformative encounters, this unique anthology encourages readers to embark on their own intellectual adventures and cultivate fresh concepts. Emphasizing the fluidity and emergence of ideas, this book features chapters written by individuals and collaborative groups, each opening new spaces of inquiry and experimentation. The range of topics covered is vast, drawing inspiration from unexpected sources such as crochet blankets, women's football, trauma within Canadian residential schools, sketchbooks, postverbal learning in dementia, and preschool outings in Johannesburg. The book invites readers to speculate, make connections, and invent their own concepts while showcasing the ongoing actualization of ideas.

Ideal for scholars of posthumanist thinking across the social sciences.

'A generous, transdisciplinary collection of essays centred on research and engagement with theories of the more-than-human turn in diverse educational settings. The scholarly risk-taking and careful reading and writing by the authors offer insights and models for those of us interested in doing academia differently.'

Sarah Truman, Associate Professor, University of Melbourne

'Alfred North Whitehead famously wrote: “Philosophy begins in wonder. And at the end when philosophical thought has done its best the wonder remains.” Posthuman Adventures boldly meets the call of wonder, sidles it with care, and lets it do its work. In play, it asks how else thought can move (us) to the limit, how writing can write other ways of being into the world. It’s a joy to read.'
