Under the auspices of posthumanism, the extent to which non-humans can be integrated into sociological studies is currently being discussed. While the founding mothers and fathers of Sociology used the human subject as the starting point and focus of their analysis, it is now a matter of adjusting the sociological view: Matter, objects, animals and ecological processes are just as suspected of being the starting point of an action as the human being. In this way, humans and non-humans are symmetrized and described either as interconnected or as opposing actors. Informed by feminist posthumanisms and practice theories, the dissertation project asks how the ‘human’ is constituted as such. In the case of robotics, the dissertation project undertakes a sociological-ethnographic analysis of the differentiation between human and non-human. The leading assumption is that neither ‘the human’ nor ‘the non-human’ is subject to natural, irrefutable facts, but is to be understood as a product of socio-material ordering. The focus is on human-theoretical assumptions about ‘the human’ and the informational and mechanical implementation of these assumptions in the form of robots. The guiding question is how exactly the distinctions between humans and machines are made in the construction of robots and in what way robots are induced with this knowledge of distinction. The dissertation project follows on from programs of study in the sociology of knowledge and posthumanism and contributes to a theory of the human
