At least this is the vector that post-humanism seems to take, on the wave of its much needed demolition of anthropocentrism, something that will finally marginalise sociological analysis from a field it has occupied too much and for too long. A recent example of this proposition is the "Hybrid Constitution" work by Francesco Monico http://hybridconstitution.blogspot.nl/ his essay on these matters is published in the latest number of the Italian journal of philosophy AUT AUT with the title "Premesse per una costituzione ibrida: la macchina, la bambina automatica e il bosco" Hopefully there will be an english translation of it sometimes. ciao -- http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: 6113 D89C A825 C5CE DD02 C872 73B3 5DA5 4ACB 7D10 # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
