[Air-L] New issue from communication +1: Machine Communication

[Zach McDowell]

*communication +1 *is pleased to present:

*Machine Communication*

*Edited by David Gunkel and Zachary McDowell*

With this special issue we explore the boundaries of communication beyond
the human subject and the restrictions of humanism by considering that
which is radically other – the machine. These articles seek to interrogate
the opportunities and challenges that emerge around, within, and from
interactions and engagements with machines of all types and varieties. By
examining the full range of human-machine interactions, machine-machine
interactions, or other hitherto unanticipated configurations, we believe we
have assembled a collection of ground-breaking essays that push the
boundaries of our discipline and probe the new social configurations of the
21st century.
