A posthumanist approach problematizes the separateness and
centrality of humans in understanding the world around us.
Posthumanism does not deny the role of humans but questions the
assumption that it is human activity and agency that should be
given pride of place in any analysis of social activity. This
carries important and interesting implications for the study of
World Englishes, some of which are explored in this Element.
Sections 3 and 4, respectively, explore posthumanism in relation to
two specific topics in World Englishes, creativity and language
policy. These topics have been chosen because they allow us to see
the contributions that posthumanism can make to a micro-level
(creativity) as well as macro-level (language policy) topic.
