Monika Bakke, Deep Time Environments: Art And The Materiality Of Life Beyond The Human Lesley Gourlay, Posthuman Texts: Nonhuman Actors, Mediators and Technologies of Inscription Niamh Moore, “Humanist” Methods in a “More-than-Human” World Iris van der Tuin, Reading Diffractive Reading: Where and When Does Diffraction Happen?PART TWO – Performing Posthumanities: Disrupting Humanities AestheticsPart two looks at the ways in which research is mediated and performed. It focuses on a reconsideration of the aesthetics of scholarship, including the “aesthetics of bookishness.” In doing so it investigates the potential of more post-digital, hybrid and multimodal forms of knowledge creation.
