Since ancient times, across all cultures, the “more-than-human” other that exist in the realm of nature, and recently, in the realm of culture (technologically othered robots, for example) are not only very much a part of current human reality but they have also formed a large part of the contemporary human imagination. In the myths and folklores of diverse cultures around the world, animals are a ubiquitous presence, and in recent science fiction, AI are very prevalent. However, animals and robots in human tales are, by and large, anthropomorphized, attributed human characters such that they reveal more about humanity than animality. However, there have always been exceptions to this traditional perception that marks the boundary between human and animal, organic beings and robots. In this paper, I discuss animals (especially tigers) and their posthuman transformations in fictions centered on or emerging from Singapore, Malaysia, India and Myanmar. Examining the posthuman condition in Simon Chesterman’s Artifice, set in Singapore, Amitav Ghosh’s Jungle Nama set in Myanmar and India, and Sir Hugh Clifford’s Were-Tiger Tales set in colonial Malaya, I discuss how these narratives present the liminal divide between humans and animals, and between organic and inorganic life. In doing so, I interrogate the concept of human exclusivity that has come to be normalized in humanist narratives.
