Posthuman Glossary

Art, science and the humanities have long organised their thinking around the human. This glossary asks what happens to those categories when global capitalism, migration, new technology and environmental damage all press on them at once. It treats the posthuman as an emerging field of study rather than a passing fashion.

The entries gather neologisms and key concepts that reflect this shift. Among the subjects are the Anthropocene, the Capitalocene, eco-sophies, online activism, the logic of algorithms and the inhuman itself. Neologisms like 'altergorithm' and 'rewilding', along with 'negentropy' and 'techno-animalism', each show how a term tries to make sense of the posthuman predicament.

Because it links fields that rarely share a vocabulary, the glossary is aimed at students and researchers in several disciplines. Bloomsbury USA Academic published it in 2018. It runs to 538 pages. ISBN-13: 9781350030251.
