nonhumanand

Nonhumanand is a neologism formed from the words nonhuman and and. There is no single, widely accepted definition or canonical usage for nonhumanand in scholarly or mainstream sources. In informal discourse and some creative and critical contexts, the term is used to foreground the co-constructed relationship between human and nonhuman actors within systems such as technology, ecology, and culture. Proponents or users may employ it to discuss posthumanist perspectives, distributed agency, or the ethical implications of AI and automation.

Because it is not standardized, interpretations vary; some view it as a rhetorical device to reject human exceptionalism, while others see it as a label for a specific project or collaborative framework. Etymology is likely contemporary, arising from online communities and interdisciplinary discussions. As a result, reliable definitions are sparse, and references are typically contextual. See also nonhuman, posthumanism, actor-network theory, and machine ethics.
