In Penderson (2010) Is posthuman educable?, I looked at the reference to humanist traditions and the different strands of interpretation of the posthuman adoption of the past. In my second post, a link to a blog discussion on connectivism as posthuman pedagogy which questions the absence of epistemology in the theory.  In my third post, I decided to collect a few more links for reference to what is being done already on posthuman pedagogy or its interpretation for education.  And my last post this week, I attempted to reflect how I could embrace the language of posthumanism in my post, and also focused on Gough’s rhizomANTic paper which illustrated an example of anthromorphism or reflexivity, and finally in Angus et al (2001), I raised some questions on the interpretation of connections used by posthumanist writers.

On reflection, I am slowly  beginning to think beyond the binaries of  promise/threat and dystopia/utopia.   I am able to proceed to the second process of scattering the ideas on my blog this coming week.
