Editorial Note.

The More-than-Human Humanities name a set of ongoing reorientations within contemporary humanistic inquiry, prompted by converging crises and revelations: accelerating climate destabilization and extinction cascades; pervasive technological mediation and scientific, ethnographic, and Indigenous knowledges that foreground animal cognition, ecological interdependence, and the agency of material worlds. In this sense, the More-than-Human Humanities are less a new scientific “field” or a unified doctrine than a pressure exerted on the Humanities as such—an epistemological and ethical recalibration that asks what it means to think, read, archive, and narrate in a world where the human is neither separable from nor sovereign over the more-than-human web that enables life.
