Postdigital Agency

The question of agency is a key concern within postdigital scholarship. The process of digitisation embeds humans in new complex relations with technology which undermine stable and abiding conceptualisations of human reason, will, and liberal individuation. The question of where the human starts and ends becomes increasingly blurred as techno-human relations become more intimate, pervasive, complex, indiscernible, and frenetic. The entry introduces conceptions of agency held by competing philosophies engaged with techno-human evolution including transhumanism and critical posthumanism. Postdigital scholarship contributes to a conceptualisation of agency that can aid in contestations and imaginings for a more inclusive future.
