Abstract

In a special issue devoted to human-non-human attribution, it uses the former paper to show that the two extreme positions of humans and non-humans are devoid of meaning and should be replaced, instead, by the exchange of properties, competences and performances. There is no sense in which a human or a technique can be said to exist.
