Who's talking? (and what does it mean for 'us'?): Provocations for beyond Humanist dialogic pedagogies

In this contribution, we aim to expand thinking around who can and should count as legitimate, credible and viable relational partners in dialogism by commencing a critical conversation with posthumanism. While we will soon outline what we mean both by ‘dialogism’ and ‘posthumanism’, at this early stage we want to flag that our interest is in what possibilities for self and other/s open up when dialogism and posthumanism are brought into contact and cross-fertilisation along the conceptual boundary of ‘the human’. We foreshadow in our conclusion some of the changes and openings made possible for the field of dialogism itself and dialogical research by this speculative conversation, and we will invite your activist investment in these spaces. Our approach (we hope!) is lively and provocative, along the lines of a thought experiment, although a thought experiment with vital ethical and political parameters, since for both of us, social-and-other-than-human justice and the transformations required for it are central to the planetary concerns at the heart of our shared and pressing precarity.
