Why then do we often talk about them as if they were alive? Laura Voss explores this fascinating phenomenon, providing a rich insight into practices of animacy (and inanimacy) attribution to robot technology: from science-fiction to robotics R&D, from science communication to media discourse, and from the theoretical perspectives of STS to the cognitive sciences. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, and backed by a wealth of empirical material, Voss shows how scientists, engineers, journalists ? and everyone else ? can face the challenge of robot technology appearing »a little bit alive« with a reflexive and yet pragmatic stance. 330 1 $a»The full book is an accessible and quick read that I would recommend for anyone involved in journalism or media studies.« 410 0$aScience Studies 517 2 $aVoss, More Than Machines?$eThe Attribution of (In)Animacy to Robot Technology 606 $aRobot 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aAnimacy 606 $aAnthropomorphism 606 $aAgency 606 $aTechnology 606 $aSociety 606 $aScience 606 $aSociology of Technology 606 $aSociology of Culture 606 $aSociology of Work and Industry 606 $aSociology 615 4$aRobot 615 4$aArtificial Intelligence 615 4$aAnimacy 615 4$aAnthropomorphism 615 4$aAgency 615 4$aTechnology 615 4$aSociety 615 4$aScience 615 4$aSociology of Technology 615 4$aSociology of Culture 615 4$aSociology of Work and Industry 615 4$aSociology 676 $a303.4834 700 $aVoss$b Laura$p
