Notes
1 I love the theories behind this word but resist the word itself – how it annoyingly suggests both a linear sense of time and a clean departure from humanism (while ironically emphasizing the human). I prefer Haraway’s (Citation2016) ‘compost’ for the collaborative, earth-living, worm-tangled feel of the word and the unexpected companions/critters that are an inevitable part of composting. ‘Compost’ feels lateral, messy, and grounded; however, I use ‘posthuman’ to refer to an inspiring body of literature exploring the shifting capacities, constitutions, and social values of bodies – human and other-than-human.
