This book asks: How do our digital cultures reflect human-pet embodied communication, and empathy? And how can these entangled human-pet stories teach us different ways of not just researching digital media in domestic spaces, but also, more expansively, about our being in the world? Each chapter seeks to bring new insights to the topic, by exploring the deep sensory and social affinities we share with our pets, and how digital media is an embedded part of this meaning making process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrounded in cultural and digital media studies, this book is highly relevant for students and scholars of Media, Communication and Cultural Studies, particularly those exploring pets, digital media practices, and social media in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarissa Hjorth\u003c\/b\u003e is Distinguished Professor in the School of Media \u0026amp; Communication at RMIT University, Australia.
