Abstract
Posthumanism is a controversial term that evokes very different associations and yet we are surrounded by what it attempts to describe on a daily basis. The use of computers and the internet alone leads to regular requests to confirm that we are not robots, but human beings. People wear implants that merge with their body and its processes, live in smart homes or share their household with digital assistance systems. The argumentation of this lecture takes up the concept of posthumanism and links it to the concept of habituation. Using the example of near-future series and digitally permeated more-than-human communication, the thesis is pursued that current technological developments not only challenge understandings of the subject, but that a new concept of habituation is also needed, with which various moments can be identified that are integrated into structures and networks of habituation of the posthuman or are organised within them.
