Other title : Interconnexions : revue de posthumanisme

Interconnections: Journal of Posthumanism / Interconnexions: revue de posthumanisme is an international, interdisciplinary, bilingual publication devoted to theorizing what it means to think beyond both historical and current conceptions of “the human” in ways that transcend the traditionally anthropocentric parameters of the humanities and social sciences. Established at a critical juncture in history, on the verge of the fourth industrial revolution, and in the face of increasing pressures from social, political, economic, environmental and climatological crises on a global scale, Interconnections/Interconnexions seeks to theorize the interrelated posthumanist workings of philosophy, politics, the arts, and the sciences. The aim of this research is to move beyond a Humanist framework to generate posthuman approaches to a multiplicity of critical issues and concerns facing both humans and nonhumans alike.

The name of this journal, Pawaatamihk, roughly translates to “collective dreaming” or “a group of people dreaming” in Michif and Cree. In the same way that dreaming can offer us direction and futures to aspire to, so too does the knowledge that comes through this journal. Simultaneously it is an opportunity to connect to the shared pasts of Métis people, including honoring their ancestors and living relatives whose hard work and dreams have paved the way for our thinking today. Inspired by the ways that Métis thinkers are building knowledge in many different spaces—within and outside of academia—this journal aims to push the boundaries of previously narrow academic understandings of knowledge. Intentional care will be put toward making space for 2SLGBTQ+ and gender diverse thinkers, scholars at different career stages, and community members not affiliated with academic institutions.Pawaatamihk aspires to become a nourishing home for Métis thought.
