Trabalhos em Linguística Aplicada (TLA <http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_serial&pid=0103-1813&lng=en&nrm=iso>), a peer-reviewed SciELO Brazil Collection journal sponsored by The University of Campinas, Brazil, invites authors from any field of knowledge, whose research has explicit or explicable interfaces with the problem of meaning-making, to submit articles to compose a dossier entitled "The posthuman is now: posthumanism, action and meaning-making ", to be published in September 2019. Submissions will be accepted in Portuguese, English or Spanish. The purpose of the dossier is to present TLA Journal's readership with different possibilities of outlining the posthuman condition as a research object, and with opportunities for dialogic contact with posthumanist discourses (scientific or not), as philosophical or methodological foundations for their (new) research. We are at a turning point in the human sciences and humanities in which not only the belief in the exceptionalism of the human species, but also the conceptual edifice of liberal humanism, show signs of exhaustion, even though, as in the case of the other "post- "(modern, social, colonial, etc.) perspectives, we do not know what is supposed to replace it, exactly. On the one hand, the Anthropocene, the new faces of high-tech biopolitics, the rise of "intelligent" machines and the role of informational patterns as powerful ontological and epistemological demarcators convene the human and social sciences to reinvent themselves in their methods and scope; on the other hand, currents traditionally critical of Enlightenment-rooted humanism such as feminist studies, postcolonial studies, studies of human ecology, and social studies of science and technology, strengthen posthumanism as an interdisciplinary endeavor. In this enterprise, mutually supportive and critical versions of the posthuman are put forth by steams of thought not necessarily compatible with each other such as science fiction, futurology, transhumanism, cyborgism, feminist posthumanism, commercial/corporate posthumanism, critical posthumanism, among others. The engagement of applied language studies with posthumanism is relatively recent, and contemplation of such diversity of discourses, practices, and positions are just beginning. However, it is already clear that historical commitments to humanism and to the conceptions of language, agency, learning, subjectivity and interaction therefrom should be in question. In addition, the posthumanistic perspective reinforces the inter and transdisciplinary identity claimed by the field. Hence the relevance of a dossier that gathers interdisciplinary perspectives of the posthumanist issue, having meaning making as a point of convergence, or of interface, the meaning. Submissions are particularly welcome on the following themes: • posthumanism and language/meaning-making • posthumanism and democracy/citizenship • posthumanism and identity/subjectivity • posthumanism and learning/education • posthumanism and ethics/responsibility • posthumanism and affectivity/sentience • posthumanism, aesthetics and art • posthumanism and interdisciplinarity/transdisciplinary • other The deadline for submissions is May 20, 2019.
