포스트휴머니즘 관점에서 본 발명의 의미와 발명교육의 방향

초록

The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of invention and find implications for future invention education from a posthumanist perspective, which deconstructs human-centered ontology and pursues nomadic, transversal, and relational subjects. Specifically, the study explored the meaning of invention in the process of creating and sharing knowledge by interacting with various non-human beings, and discussed the direction of future invention education. Posthumanism is an ontological discourse that seeks to understand the workings of the interconnected and interrelated world of humans and nonhuman subjects, based on neo-materialism. While ‘invention’ from a modernist perspective is conceptualized as a process or activity in which an atomic individual independently exerts his or her ability to invent new products or ideas, posthumanism recognizes multiple agencies, the entanglement of matter and ideas, emergence and creativity, and networked interdependence and interrelationships. Based on the new conceptualization of invention from a posthumanist perspective, this study suggested as the direction of future invention education, recognition of material performance, participation in the creative 'becoming' process rather than pursuing limited goals, shifting focus from individual competence to intertwined relationships, encouraging the use of multiple modes and various ways of knowing, and finally the inclusion of the sustainability element in invention education.
