It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, examining how technology and media influence human experiences and societal structures, fostering critical discussions across various fields such as literature, art, and environmental studies. - Critical Engagement with Transhumanism:
The journal critically engages with transhumanist ideas, assessing their ethical implications and societal impacts, often questioning the technological determinism that underlies these movements. - Cultural and Historical Contexts of Posthumanism:
It investigates posthumanism within cultural and historical frameworks, analyzing how narratives and representations in media shape contemporary understandings of the human condition. - Emerging Technologies and Ethics:
The journal focuses on the ethical considerations surrounding emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and digital media, and how these technologies redefine human interaction and existence.
Trending and Emerging
- Hybridization of Human and Non-Human Entities:
A significant trend is the exploration of hybrid identities, particularly the blending of human and non-human elements, as seen in discussions around AI, biotechnology, and cultural narratives. - Critical Examination of AI and Agency:
The journal is increasingly focused on the role of artificial intelligence in redefining agency, creativity, and authorship, questioning the traditional creator-tool dichotomy. - Environmental Ethics and Posthumanism:
There is a growing emphasis on environmental themes, linking posthumanism with ecological concerns, as scholars examine the implications of technology on nature and sustainability. - Decolonial Perspectives in Posthumanism:
Emerging themes include decolonial approaches to posthumanism, which challenge Eurocentric narratives and advocate for a more inclusive understanding of identity and technology. - Ethics of Space Colonization:
Recent discussions on the ethics of space colonization highlight the moral considerations of transhumanism in extraterrestrial contexts, reflecting a broader interest in the future of humanity beyond Earth.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Humanism:
There appears to be a decline in discussions centered around traditional humanism, as the journal increasingly embraces posthuman and transhuman perspectives that challenge anthropocentric views. - Static Notions of Identity:
Themes related to static or fixed notions of identity are becoming less frequent, as contemporary scholarship shifts towards more fluid and dynamic understandings of identity in relation to technology. - Historical Philosophical Texts:
The engagement with classical philosophical texts without a contemporary application or critique seems to have diminished, with a stronger focus now on current technological and ethical dilemmas. - Biological Determinism:
There is a noticeable reduction in discussions that reinforce biological determinism, as the journal pivots towards more nuanced explorations of agency and identity that incorporate technology and culture. - Linear Progression of Technology:
The idea of technology as a linear progression towards improvement is less emphasized, with more emphasis being placed on the complexities and paradoxes inherent in technological advancement.
