About this product
Product Information
This 2007 book considers how agencies are currently figured at the human-machine interface, and how they might be imaginatively and materially reconfigured. Contrary to the apparent enlivening of objects promised by the sciences of the artificial, the author proposes that the rhetorics and practices of those sciences work to obscure the performative nature of both persons and things. The question then shifts from debates over the status of human-like machines, to that of how humans and machines are enacted as similar or different in practice, and with what theoretical, practical and political consequences. Drawing on scholarship across the social sciences, humanities and computing, the author argues for research aimed at tracing the differences within specific sociomaterial arrangements without resorting to essentialist divides. This requires expanding our unit of analysis, while recognizing the inevitable cuts or boundaries through which technological systems are constituted.

- n***o (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat value. Item is as described, and overall in very good condition. Safely packaged in a sturdy cardboard envelope, so it couldn't be damaged during delivery. Very quick dispatch and delivery. 10/10.
- i***h (267)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was as described- however, having left instructions for the delivery, to place the package into a bin liner and then into a plastic box, so it would be protected from the rain, the package was left on top of the bin liner and was soaked through. I would suggest that books are placed in a plastic cover, to prevent this
