Miller's study argues that legislation on abortion, adultery, and rape has been central to the formation of the modern citizen. Case studies on the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, France, and Italy explore the international implications and address the role of sexuality and reproduction in constructing 'civilizational' relationships.

In recent decades there has been an explosion in work in the social and physical sciences describing the similarities between human and nonhuman as well as human and non-animal thinking. In this book, Ruth Miller argues that these types of phenomena are also useful models for thinking about the growth, reproduction, and spread of political thought and democratic processes.

Ruth A. Miller excavates a centuries-old history of non-human and non-biological constitutional engagement and outlines a robust mechanical democracy that challenges existing theories of liberal and human political participation. Drawing on an eclectic set of legal, political, and automotive texts from France, Turkey, and the US, she proposes a radical mechanical rearticulation of three of the most basic principles of democracy: vitality, mobi...

Ruth A. Miller demonstrates the potential of taking nonhuman linguistic activity—such as the running of machine code—as an analytical model. Via a lively discussion of 19th-century pro- and antisuffragists, Miller tells a new computational story in which language becomes a thing that executes physically or mechanically through systems, networks, and environments, rather than a form for human recognition or representation. Language might be bet...

Challenging the posthumanist canon which celebrates the pre-eminenceof matter, Ruth Miller, in Flourishing Thought argues that what non-human systems contribute to democracy is thought. Drawing on recent feminist theories of non-human life and politics, Miller shows that reproduction and flourishing are not antithetical to contemplation and sensitivity.
