Dr Lesley (IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK) Gourlay 
Posthumanism and the Digital University [PDF ebook] 
Texts, Bodies and Materialities

Apoio

It is a commonplace in educational policy and theory to claim that digital technology has ”transformed” the university, the nature of learning and even the essence of what it means to be a scholar or a student. However, these claims have not always been based on strong research evidence. What are students and scholars actually
doing in the day-to-day life of the digital university?
This book examines in detail how the world of the digital interacts with texts, artefacts, devices and humans, in the contemporary university setting. Weaving together perspectives from a range of thinkers and disciplinary sources, Lesley Gourlay draws on ideas from
posthuman and
new materialist theory in particular, to open up our understanding about how digital knowledge practices operate. She proposes that digital engagement in the university should not be regarded as ”virtual” or disembodied, but instead may be understood as a complex set of entanglements of the body, texts and material artefacts, making a case that agency and the ways in which knowledge emerges should be regarded as ”more than human”.
