Critical Posthumanism Network
(directed by Ivan Callus, Stefan Herbrechter and myself)
The Critical Posthumanism Network aims to connect academics, artists, writers and scientists who are critically and creatively engaging with the emerging new paradigm of “posthumanism” and the “posthumanities”. Members share the view that posthumanism is an exciting area that can be even richer when it allies its appealing interdisciplinary profile with a capacity and readiness for powerful (self-)critique.
