Wadham, Tim, '“There’s Always Pooh and Me”: The Reality of Edward Bear in a Posthuman World', in Jennifer Harrison (ed.), Positioning Pooh: Edward Bear after One Hundred Years (Jackson, MS , 2021; online edn, Mississippi Scholarship Online, 20 Jan. 2022), https://doi.org/10.14325/mississippi/9781496834102.003.0010, accessed 14 May 2025.
Abstract
In this chapter, Tim Wadham applies a posthuman theoretical lens to the Winnie-the-Pooh texts, forcing a reconsideration of the foundational assumptions of posthumanism, which in its anti-humanist incarnation rejects the traditional understanding of the human condition. This takes the idea of human superiority and relegates it to the level of biocentric, nature-based inquiry. The Pooh texts, on the other hand, are profoundly humanist, exalting the human child, and their ability to create reality. This chapter serves as a counterpoint to Chapter 9.
