Recently,with the development of artificial intelligence and other science and technology,post-human cultural phenomena have entered our vis ion and our life.In our academic circles,the post-human phenomenon has also attracted more and more attention.As a cultural theory,"Post humanism" has gradually become a frontier discourse in many fields of humanities and social sciences,including anthropology,sociology,philosophy of technology,psychology ethics,psychology,philosophy,literature and art,aesthetics and art.As far as literature and art are concerned,"Post humanism" has to a large extent questioned and challenged anthropocentrism,which has led to the re-discussion of human nature and the relationship between human beings and animals.However,due to the actual existence of post-human literary and artistic creation and aesthetic phenomena,this has more specifically triggered our thinking on many issues related to literary and artistic science,such as the emotion of literary and artistic creation,the psychology of aesthetic subject and the form of critical theory.On the basis of previous studies,this paper aims to make an object-oriented study of the post humanism cultural theory.The main purpose of this paper is to find out what kinds of paradigms exist in the current study of posthuman issues,and then to think about it5 possible impact on literary and artistic theoretical criticism,and try to better reflect on the post-human aesthetic phenomena on this basis.After a more detailed investigation of the occurrence,development and formation of the post-anthropological cultural trend of thought,we summarize the concept,connotation and basic viewpoints of posthumanism.At present,the theoretical research of post humanism is mainly represented by Francis Fukuyama’s "Our post human Future:Consequences of The Biotechnology Revolution",N·Katherine Hayles’s "How We Become Posthuman:Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics,Literature,And Informatics" and Rosi Braidotti’s "The Post human",which respectively represent a post-Humanity.Cultural theory of anthropism.This paper is mainly based on the study of the three paradigmatic theories of post-anthropological culture,and refers to other existing research results in China,before we return to the specific thinking of the issues related to literature,art and aesthetics.According to our understanding,as long as we don’t break through the human bottom line,the development of cultural literature and art in post human society is inevitable.However,where is the bottom line?Theoretical research,including literature and art,on how to deal with posthuman needs our critical research.As for the subject of literature and art,the key is to form one’s own cultural theory about posthuman,which requires the development of literary aesthetics that is compatible with posthuman ideographic practice.The introduction mainly stated the reason for choosing the topic,described the current research situation and explained the research ideas of this article.The first part of the thesis inspects the occurrence,development and formation of post humanism cultural thoughts,summarizes the concept,connotation and basic viewpoints of post humanism,and discusses its influence on literary research.The second part is the concrete research of posthumanism cultural theory,mainly discussing three different theoretical forms of post humanism research.The first kind of "responsive post-humanism",which is a kind of negative form of the development of post-humanism,is a kind of liberal responsive research on post-humanity,aiming to rethink the human nature.The second is"subjectivity post humanism",which attempts to deconstruct the rational subject of traditional humanism and remove the shackles of values imposed on the subject by humanism.The third is "critical post humanism",which aims to construct a new ethical subject and fulfill critical form of post humanism.The third part of the paper is a reflection on the literary creation under the influence of Post humanism.It mainly inspects the phenomenon of post-human literary creation through the phenomenon of post-human literary creation,and reflects on the new problems of contemporary literary creation,and then puts forward some thoughts on the possible development direction of literary research in the new century.The fourth part of the paper discusses the changes in people’s understanding caused by Posthumanism.The sixth part discusses the changes in people’s understanding caused by the cultural phenomena in the post-human society and the resulting impact on the concepts of literary subjectivity and "literature is human science".This is a theoretical issue that needs to be reiterated in the post-human cultural context.The fifth part of the paper mainly introduces the new literary criticism theory under the influence of post humanism,mainly from two aspects of animal research and ecological criticism,analyzing the new form of criticism theory with human and non-human(nature,animals,machines or technology)as the main body.The conclusion part summarizes the whole paper and holds that posthuman culture theory is already a social and cultural theory closely related to humanities including literature and art.And the three forms of posthuman culture theory provide reference for us to further think about posthuman social and cultural phenomena.At the same time,the existence of post human cultural and literary phenomena puts forward new theoretical demands for our literature and art,and we need to actively respond to them.By this means,the discipline of literature and art is also expected to find new growth points of knowledge.
