In literary studies and beyond, 'theory' and its aftermaths have
arguably been over-influenced by US- and UK-based institutions,
publishers, journals, and academics. Yet the influence of theory in
its Anglo-American forms has remained reliant on Continental
European ideas. Similar patterns can be discerned within the latest
theoretical paradigm - posthumanism. European ideas influence
posthumanism's challenge to established understandings of humanism,
anthropomorphism, and anthropocentrism, which is characterised by
the increased urgency and proliferation of questions such as 'What
does it mean to be human?' and 'What is the relationship between
humans and their nonhuman others (machines, animals, plants, the
inorganic, gods, systems, and various figures of liminality, from
ghosts to angels, from cyborgs to zombies)?' European Posthumanism
examines the histories and geographies of posthumanism and looks at
the genealogies which have been at work in the rise of posthumanist
thought and culture. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the European Journal of English Studies.
