Hmmm, your forgot the link. Is it the right one I added?

Very interesting study. I like this idea: The "theme [running through every chapter] is, speaking generally, the boundary between subjects and objects, between humans (or life in general) and machines, between the subjective and the objective. ALifers both blurred and reproduced these boundaries in their scientific practices, and they contested and discussed them."

Yes, thats the Ghost in the Machine!

BTW, I found some amazing videos from the ROBODEX 2003 in Tokyo, where they show their newest robots. If you take a look at them, it's easy to imagine that their creators build a relationship to their machines, that could topic of anthropological research, as done by Risan.

Honda Asimo and Sony SDR-4X II are great.
