Recenzii
"From the companion species and robotic seals found in care homes to the never-aging and sacrificial animals populating laboratories, the contributors to More-than-Human Aging make the compelling demand that our understandings of aging reach beyond humanity. A timely and important contribution."
"A fascinating collection that moves, breaks down, and redefines the boundary lines between the aging humans and a dense world of more-than-human agents. Equally provocative and playful, this collection embraces fresh concepts and methodologies that propel our capacity to imagine worlds of aging and care that extend and entangle with others. A unique and groundbreaking book that deserves to be read widely across aging studies, and will no doubt animate many discussions and debates for years to come."
"This innovative anthology is a must-read for anyone related to the aging process. It covers the field from robot companionship to that of animals in literature. The well-documented chapters by scholars from various disciplines and parts of the world nicely portray the fictive kin relationship of animals to humans. Reciprocity is alive and well with animal-human interactions."

Descriere
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.
