Robot Constructions

\n

(Deadline January 10\, 2022)

\n

The word "robot" is a  \;Czech invention. As the word traveled to English speaking areas and from  \;there to other languages and cultures\, did the robot on this journey  \;become something else? For robots and AI\, more generally\, we want to  \;explore how they are imagined\, defined\, described\, comprehended\,  \;constructed or even  \;misunderstood \; before and after they become a  \;technological reality &ndash\; how they are constituted in language\, how  \;cosmopolitan or intercultural they are. We are hoping for contributions  \;from linguistics\, philosophy\, cultural and gender studies\, history of  \;technology\, STS\, and literature.

\n

Contributed papers on any topic within the scope of the journal are also welcome.

\n

Queries\, suggestions\, and submissions can be addressed at any time to
