The Posthuman Turn: Chances and Challenges
The Faculty of Languages, MSA University is pleased to launch its Second International Conference “The Posthuman Turn: Chances and Challenges” in October 2023.
At a time of cultural, economic, and geopolitical crisscrossing, post-humanism emerged as an interdisciplinary area that re- evaluates the ‘humanness’ and ‘the human’ while embracing transformational/ ‘transhumanist’ perspectives to improve interconnectedness and to extend ‘moral concerns’ from human to nonhumans. Generally, post-humanism keeps on spurring ongoing questions that define the human, nonhuman and inhuman configurations while emphasizing that the ‘post’ in posthuman does not indicate the end of humanity but a reconsideration of institutionalized definitions.
With a backdrop of such convergent and irreconcilable approaches, this conference aims to address the various implications of posthumanism for contemporary issues such as environmentalism, animal rights, gender, race, and ethics, while embracing its interdisciplinary nature. The conference offers an engaging platform for academicians, theorists, and artists to share their ideas and interpretations of emerging concepts in fields of humanities across different cultures and contexts. Papers from various fields and disciplines are welcomed to pronounce the questions related to this area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- The posthuman condition: reflections and approaches
- Human and non-human embodiment
- Posthumanism, transhumanism and AI
- Posthuman approaches to disability studies
- Modes of being: reconfiguring the human and the non- human
- Transhumanism: the enhancement of the human condition
- Emerging technologies and ethics
- Post humanism and education: policies, practices, and approaches
- Translation in a post human world
- The marginalized in a posthuman world
- Crossing boundaries between the human and the natural world
- Children in the posthuman age
- Linguistic landscapes in the posthuman age
