ABSTRACT

Rising such unexperienced problems as the posthuman or the posthumanity, it is necessary to reflect the classical study of humanities to conceptualize the humanity anyway. Thereby if we will draw a new study of humanities, it may be called the ‘posthumanstudies’ to mean “humanstudies after humanstudies” literally. The posthumanstudies discovered in such way make their appearance in two mode: the posthumanstudies and the posthuman-studies. On the one hand, the post-humanstudies always will try to break down every attempt to define the humanity and the posthumaniy conceptually, by criticizing the attitude of the classical study of humanities to conceptualize the humanity. On the other hand, the posthuman-studies will try to inquire into various posthuman images that can not to be defined conceptually, by adjusting their own course according to critical attitude of the post-humanstudies.
