Animals and Technology Around the World, Past and Present 2
Sat, September 1, 4:00 to 5:30pm, ICC, E5.4Session Submission Type: Open Panel
Abstract
Across time and space, our relationships with nonhuman animals have involved a staggering assortment of technologies. In addition to the technologies we have developed to use with or against animals, animals also have been used *as* technologies, and they continue to serve as inspiration for even more. This panel welcomes papers on animals and technology, from reflective essays and case studies to systematic overviews of past and present practices. We welcome papers focused on any cultural region or historical period of time and those reporting on obscure, esoteric, or failed technologies as well as common, persistent, and/or successful ones.
