Entangling Sensing: Arts-Based Methods for Teaching the Environmental Humanities and Critical Posthumanities
Abstract
Contemporary planetary crises have prompted a new wave of environmental and posthumanities scholarship, aiming to address our planet and its concerns as entangled and more-than-human. How might the radical propositions of the environmental and posthumanities be taught? This article argues that arts-based methods – characterised by sensation, open-endedness, interdisciplinarity, experimentalism and situatedness – offer generative approaches for embodied and embedded learning. Through three case studies, the article elaborates different arts-based approaches that the author has found especially generative when teaching the posthumanities.
