[emcai] Reminder EMCA/AI meeting tomorrow - Posthumanism, HRI, and CA

[Rijk, L.E.M. de (Lynn)]

Dear EMCA/AI network members,

Hereby a reminder for our follow-up meeting tomorrow, Friday 14 November, 12.30-14.00 CET on posthumanism, HRI, and CA.

Meeting link: https://liu-se.zoom.us/j/67554855790

As a refresher on the topic, please find some slides prepared for an earlier meeting here<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1RWLN-q9yW4w8n2gC64l_S2zmryEyj_ms0w0mEtnunoo/edit?usp=sharing>.
These slides show how we initially got to the discussion of posthumanism in this network, and describes provisionally some potential converging/diverging aspects of posthumanism and HRI focused EM/CA.

For this additional meeting, we would like to delve deeper into the topic using the following questions as a starting point. We will also have data fragments available to aid our discussion where useful.

Fundamental:

  *   How might a posthumanist perspective influence EM/CA analysis?
  *   Which posthumanist ideas/theories are most compatible with EM/CA?
  *   Are there EM or CA studies that could already be read as posthumanist, even if they do not explicitly identify as such?

Methodological:

  *   What kinds of data are most suitable for a posthumanist EM/CA approach (e.g., video, interviews, etc)? What new methodological strategies might be needed (e.g. playful, experimental, or design-led engagements with phenomena)?
  *   What is the role of the unique adequacy requirement in a posthuman ethnomethodology? To what extent can it apply to nonhuman actors?
  *   How can we present data/analysis in ways that does not center human agency? What kind of language might better capture similarities and differences in “interaction” between human and nonhuman participants?
  *   What ethical issues arise when we decide to recognize or analyze nonhuman agencies?

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Best wishes,
Iuliia and Lynn
