Abstract

This chapter previews themes that have emerged during the post-Anthropocene era. They include eco-modernism, nature-culture divide, new materialism, anthropocentrism, and speciesism. There is a section on environmental education and speculative pedagogy, as well as commentary of diffraction as a methodology. I also review posthumanism, posthuman and transhuman and the agencies involved.
