This is the first collection that highlights the strengths and
contributions of the Humanities, in the European region. The volume
stresses the positive and multidimensional impact of the Humanities
on core areas of human experience, and their ability to formulate
new frames to represent our collective and individual relation to
the world. Further, it explores new ethical social imaginaries,
gendered scenarios and spaces of decolonial transculturality. This
collection also confronts the threats the Humanities face today and
proposes ways to respond. These threats include public discourses
that question the value of the Humanities; the chronic underfunding
of teaching and research at our universities and institutions, and
the more fundamental risks to intellectual freedom, democracy and
critical discourse, diversity, and the radical imagination posed by
political and market forces and organisations. Overall, this volume
proposes innovative tools to increase our collective awareness of
forms of injustice, exclusion and the suffering of both the human
and the non-human inhabitants of this planet. It discusses the
posthuman future of the Humanities and makes recommendations for
the implementation of innovative approaches to the Humanities.
