ANIMALS MACHINES AND AI KARTONIERT (TB)

Sentient animals  machines  and robots abound in German literature and culture  but there has
been surprisingly limited scholarship on non-human life forms in German studies. This volume
extends interdisciplinary research in emotion studies to examine non-humans and the affective
relationships between humans and non-humans in modern German cultural history. In recent years
fascination with emotions  developments in robotics  and the burgeoning of animal studies in
and beyond the academy have given rise to questions about the nature of humanity. Using sources
from the life sciences  literature  visual art  poetry  philosophy  and photography  this
collection interrogates not animal or machine emotions per se  but rather uses animals and
machines as lenses through which to investigate human emotions and the affective entanglements
between humans and non-humans. The COVID-19 pandemic made us more keenly aware of the
importance of both animals and new technologies in our daily lives  and this volume ultimately
sheds light on the centrality of non-humans in the human emotional world and the possibilities
that relationships with non-humans offer for enriching that world. Watch our talk with the
