Opis

This transdisciplinary volume uses notions of resonance and axiology to analyse distributed perception in the form of geological, animal, bacterial, machinic and human co-perceptibilities. In so doing they show that distributed perception is an important for addressing the emergence, persistence, and development of human-animal-machine relations.
