Alex P Jose<\/b> is a Lecturer in English Literature at Kateel Ashok Pai Memorial <\/b>College, Karnataka. His academic work is situated at the intersection of literary theory, posthuman studies, and contemporary world literature, with particular emphasis on the philosophical and ethical implications of technological modernity in narrative forms.<\/p>

He completed his Master\u2019s degree (M.A.) in English Literature<\/b> from Kuvempu University<\/b>, where he developed a sustained interest in critical theory, Shakespearean adaptation studies, and postmodern philosophy. He previously earned his Bachelor\u2019s degree in English Literature<\/b> from Don Bosco College<\/b>, affiliated with University of Calicut<\/b>. His academic formation combined rigorous textual study with theoretical inquiry, laying the foundation for his present research trajectory.<\/p>

Although at the early stage of his academic career, he has actively participated in international scholarly platforms. He has presented research papers at international conferences, including work on Shakespearean adaptation and postmodern cinema. His paper, \u201cJoji \u2013 The Tale of Macbeth\u2019s Ambition and Tragedy,\u201d was presented at an international conference organised by the Department of English, Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Bihar. He has also presented research at the Two-Day International Conference on \u201cTransformations: English Language and Literature in Multidisciplinary Context in the Current Era.\u201d<\/p>

His research has been published in peer-reviewed international journals. His article, \u201cContextualising Macbeth in Kerala: Analysing Joji as a Shakespearean Tragedy,\u201d appeared in Literary Cognizance: An International Refereed \/ Peer Reviewed e-Journal of English Language, Literature & Criticism (Vol. VI, Issue 1, 2025). His earlier work, \u201cA Postmodern Reflection on the Real and Imaginary World in the Movies Coma and Into the Wild,\u201d explores questions of hyperreality, fragmented identity, and postmodern subjectivity in contemporary cinema.<\/p>

His current research interests include Posthumanism, Cognitive Posthumanism, Affect Studies, Eco-Posthumanism, and the Posthuman Gaze. He is particularly interested in how contemporary fiction reconfigures consciousness, agency, and moral cognition in the age of artificial intelligence. His ongoing research moves beyond postmodern analysis toward a deeper engagement with posthuman theory, examining the literary representation of machine ethics, non-human agency, and the limits of anthropocentric humanism.<\/p>

He is presently developing his research profile toward doctoral study, with the aim of contributing to international scholarship in posthuman literary theory and contemporary narrative studies. His long-term academic objective is to pursue collaborative research across institutions and to publish in internationally recognised peer-reviewed journals in the fields of literary theory, digital humanities, and AI and literature.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
