Abstract

It is with the questions “(1) Who and what do I touch when I touch my dog? and (2) How is 'becoming with' a practice of becoming knowledgeable about the world? ”2 (p. 3) that the North American Donna Haraway (1944) initiates "When Species Meet" and invites us to a practice of curiosity and openness to experiences, meanings and possible worlds awakened in relationships with other beings. Especially, but not only, with those we share every day.
