(2016) Researching a posthuman world, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
We reflect on the many digital and nondigital things that support and shepherd today's professional practices. Things are not inert objects, but vital entities implicated in the co-constitution and becoming of our everyday worlds. We forward posthumanism as a theoretical framework to address our twenty-first century situation. Actor-Network Theory, phenomenology, and related methodological approaches used throughout the book are presented. Differences between objects and things are considered. We propose interviewing objects as a way to give things a voice in research, and thus include them as participants in inquiry. Eight heuristics are introduced for conducting posthuman research.
