Abstract

From so-called sex, love and companionship dolls, robots and AI increasingly presented as substitutes for human relationships, this talk will provide a pronominal political-ethical framework to make sense of this phenomena and why it signifies the end of love. The talk will explore a politics of love rooted in I-you attachment.
