Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This book, the third in a series, delves into the potential of non-humans to inspire new scholarly approaches that blur established boundaries in theory and research. It challenges the traditional ontological binary that places humans above other life forms, highlighting the co-presence of humans and non-humans in the world. The series reflects a growing interest in non-humans within the social sciences, offering fresh perspectives on long-standing issues. This interest disrupts conventional assumptions about the distinctions between humans and other life forms, as well as their relationships with inanimate objects. The chapters explore the idea that humans and non-humans are not as separate as previously thought; they often interact and co-create, leading to the dissolution of rigid boundaries. While non-humans differ from humans in many ways, these differences do not always dictate their relationships. A more nuanced understanding of these encounters is essential, which the chapters aim to provide. The book advocates for a close examination of how the co-presence of diverse entities—both humans and non-humans—shapes their interactions and influences the boundaries between them in moments of sharing and inhabiting the world.
