Kenneth Burke + The Posthuman

Kenneth Burke + The Posthuman, Volume 1, is a transdisciplinary examination of the relationship between Kenneth Burke's humanist theories and the evolving concepts of posthumanism. This work of literary criticism and philosophy explores the intersection of rhetoric, language arts, and communication studies. By analyzing the multiplicity of ideas within both Burke's scholarship and posthumanist thought, the text identifies opportunities for invention and revision in how scholars understand the human mind and technology.

The contributors utilize frameworks of boundaries and futures to connect Burke's writing with modern theories of new materiality and coevolution. This study of linguistics and epistemology focuses on the fluidity of symbolism, subjectivity, and the contested relationship between bodies and language. By bridging the gap between anthropology and posthumanism, Kenneth Burke + The Posthuman, Volume 1, provides a complex web of interconnections for researchers in rhetoric and American literary criticism.
