The robots are coming! So too is the 'age of automation', the march
of 'invasive' species, more intense natural disasters, and a
potential cataclysm of other unprecedented events and phenomena of
which we do not yet know, and cannot predict. This book is
concerned with how to account for these non-humans and their
effects within theories of social practice. In particular, this
provocative collection tackles contemporary debates about the
roles, relations and agencies of constantly changing, disruptive,
intelligent or otherwise 'dynamic' non-humans, such as weather,
animals and automated devices. In doing so contributors challenge
and take forward existing understandings of dynamic non-humans in
theories of social practice by reconsidering their potential roles
in everyday life. The book will benefit sociology, geography,
science and technology studies, and human- (and animal-) computer
interaction design scholars seeking to make sense of the complex
entanglement of non-human phenomena and things in the performance
of social practices.
