humanimalia-9612	Berland, Jody	Attending the Giraffe	2017	24	.pdf	application/pdf	8090	406	52	Taking up the insight that an animal is a medium and the medium is the message means acknowledging, as Jon Durham Peters does in his book The Marvelous Clouds, that thinking about animals in the context of mediation is not just important for our consideration of human animal relations; it expands our understandings of mediation itself. Animals, of course, touched humans before now, but how animals figure into the management of our experiences, how affect is mediated and toward what ends, what affective entanglement means in this context, has changed profoundly.7 Affect is a subtler concept for talking about these media encounters than McLuhan’s speculative cybernetic physiology, in part because McLuhan was not very attuned to affect, or to politics, or to animals, for that matter, but also because the processes that he intuited have become so much more explicit.	cache/humanimalia-9612.pdf	txt/humanimalia-9612.txt
