Abstract

Continental philosophy and critical theory responded to the acknowledgement of anthropocentrism in the twentieth century with a new philosophical framework, posthumanism. This framework questions both the primacy of the human and the necessity of the human as a category. Posthumanism has been influential across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, bringing to the fore the activities, effects, and performances of “nonhuman” subjects (animals, vegetables, minerals, technologies, and forces). Geography has been at the forefront of posthuman research, examining the vitality and agency of these diverse subjects from a spatial perspective. Work in posthuman geography has increasingly attended to the framework’s methodological implications, attending to the liveliness of “more-than-human” relations and moving away from the focus on language, texts, human actions, and social meanings.
