As technological advancements continue to reshape the boundaries of human existence, the concept of communication is undergoing profound transformations. Posthuman communication transcends traditional human-centered models, integrating artificial intelligence, cyborg systems, and non-human agents into dynamic networks of interaction. This evolving paradigm challenges conventional notions of language, agency, and meaning, inviting us to explore the intersections of technology, biology, and culture. This call for papers seeks to engage with the complexities and implications of posthuman communication.
