“…Accordingly, Heidegger offers terms I use for the description of phenomena like a communicating lake ("call"), the deep concern of the inhabitants ("care") or the depressed mood awakened by the lake-problem ("Stimmung"). Referring to Heidegger in my study on the posthuman is by no means arbitrary, since his theory is compatible with posthumanist approaches (Ferrando 2019;Rae 2014). With the destruction of metaphysics, Heidegger turns against binary oppositions and anthropocentrism -both aspects are central determinants of the posthuman -and avoids the Cartesian dualism by conceptualizing being as immersed in the world, what he expresses by the concept of being-in-the-world.…”

This study leads the reader to some remote Kashubian villages, located on the shores of Lake Słupino, Poland. The residents of these villages have witnessed uncanny transformations of their once familiar lake in recent years. Through changes in color, odor and matter, Słupino has obtruded itself to call out the problem of pollution. How does the lake express itself? How does it affect the everyday life of the inhabitants? To approach the specific interaction between the lake and the inhabitants (thus non-human and human), the author conducted sensory ethnography and conversed with residents affected by the problem. The categories call, care and Stimmung are used to analyze the gathered empirical material. These categories enable a variety of perspectives on the phenomenon and, thus, let us approximate what can be characterized as posthuman: First, the lake-problem is viewed from the activity of the calling lake, and then the argumentation is built up from the activity of the caring inhabitants. Finally, both perspectives are integrated with the category Stimmung, into which the lake and the inhabitants are immersed. The present study shows that the posthuman is not merely an artificial category but can be found in the research field by an (European) ethnologist, as intersecting with everydayness, memory and activity and, thus, be perceived from an emic perspective.

“…Postmodernism feeds new reflections on the professional dimension, becoming an open space for debate not yet built. Pushing more, for example, terminology like Post-humanism (meaning "after humanism" or "beyond humanism") opens a new definition of humanity (Ferrando, 2019). Post-humanism explores new cognition, perception and developmental awareness implication (Belhassein et al, 2019) in a living era so-called "Anthropocentrism" (as the belief that human beings are the most important entity in the universe); artificial intelligence (A.I), robots and ethical technology, genetic privacy, technological addiction, environmental sustainability, power, equity etc.…”

The chapter invites the readers to open a discussion on the implication of emergent technology-like virtual reality, robotics and augmented reality-on teacher practices in the classroom on a practical level and a broader impact on professional development. In current educational literature, points of discussion are explored toward a posthuman teacher professional development, moving toward critical and participative mean-making in trouble time.

Role of CollaboraƟon in Teaching Process Open PerspecƟvesThe use of different kinds of emerging technology, such as Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality, Sensory Augmentation Technologies, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, requires a form of adaptation to the available resources, making explicit the reference to them. The interaction with the new technology is lived no longer as an experience in itself, preferably based on the frame of social meanings in which each individual can place it. In this sense, learning and interactions are extensively transformed when integrating emerging technologies. Learning, therefore, becomes a becoming with and through technology.

“…The deconstruction of binary oppositions gets "intensified" in new materialism (St. Pierre et al 2016, 99). Posthuman thought takes it even further by arguing that the two terms, such as nature and culture, are always and already mutually involved and messily entangled (Haraway 2016;Braidotti 2013Braidotti , 2019Ferrando 2019). In other words, nature-culture is a continuum rather than an absolute opposition, which means that the human-non-human can also be positioned on a mutually constitutive continuum.…”
