This book brings together emerging insights from across the
humanities and social sciences to highlight how postcolonial
studies are being transformed by increasingly influential and
radical approaches to nature, matter, subjectivity, human agency,
and politics. These include decolonial studies, political ontology,
political ecology, indigeneity, and posthumanisms. The book
examines how postcolonial perspectives demand of posthumanisms and
their often ontological discourses that they reflexively situate
their own challenges within the many long histories of decolonised
practice. Just as postcolonial research needs to critically engage
with radical transitions suggested by the ontological turn and its
related posthumanist developments, so too do posthumanisms need to
decolonise their conceptual and analytic lenses. The chapters'
interdisciplinary analyses are developed through global, critical,
and empirical cases that include: city spaces and urbanisms in the
Global North and South; food politics and colonial land use;
cultural and cosmic representation in film, theatre, and poetry;
nation building; the Anthropocene; materiality; the void;
pluriversality; and, indigenous world views. Theoretically and
conceptually rich, the book proposes new trajectories through which
postcolonial and posthuman scholarships can learn from one another
and so critically advance.
