Te aim of the article is to present a new tendency of humanities (transhumanism, posthumanism, new materialism) in the educational context. In the frst part, the relationships between Polish language teaching in primary and secondary schools and literary studies are cha- racterized in historical order. Te school and university cooperation allows to conserve suitable impact on the pupils’ knowledge, skills, and their moral attitude to contemporary reality. Scientifc support of school curricula is today very urgent because we are living in a chaotic reality that Zygmunt Bauman called liquid modernity. Te classical patterns of knowledge and authority have been disappearing for dozens of decades. Moreover, we live in “a realm” of big data, rapid processes of digitalization, and a plethora of information. Te second part of the article relates to diferent subjects of anthropology of literature, frst of all transhumanism, posthumanism, and new materialism, which allow us to demonstrate the human condition in a new light. A teacher, using the tools of the new humanities, while reading literary texts, can indicate the natural relationships between man and the natural environment: plants, animals, terrain, climate.
