Posthumanities situates itself at a crossroads: at the intersection of “the humanities” in its current academic configuration and the challenges it faces from “posthumanism” to move beyond its standard parameters and practices. Rather than simply reproducing established forms and methods of disciplinary knowledge, posthumanists confront how changes in society and culture require that scholars rethink what they do—theoretically, methodologically, and ethically. The “human” is enmeshed in the larger problem of what Jacques Derrida called “the living,” and traditional humanism is no longer adequate to understand the human’s entangled, complex relations with animals, the environment, and technology.

The Bollingen Foundation was established in 1945 by Paul and Mary Conover Mellon to create a larger audience for Carl G. Jung's theories through the publication of his collected works in English translation. From this initial publishing venture grew the Bollingen Series, a distinguished series of publications on aesthetics, anthropology, literary criticism, philosophy, psychology, and comparative religion. With the transfer of the Bollingen Series to Princeton University Press in 1969, the foundation concluded its activities and presented its records to the Library of Congress four years later.
