More-Than-Human Aging

Animals, Robots, and Care in Later Life

Beschreibung

Aging is not only reserved for humans. Similarly, how humans age is often a process in which other-than-humans – be it other species or technology – become entangled or carved out. The contributions to this edited volume open a conversation about how aging is always a hybrid, more-than-human process.
