For me, zoontologies imply play specifically at the boundaries of human and animal, but I see here why you might want to extend this to human/machine categories. You might be interested to read Helena Pedersen’s paper on slaughterhouse pedagogy, as it’s one of the few papers in education that apply zooethnographic methods (and it’s a very good read):

Pedersen, H. (2013). ‘Follow the Judas sheep: materializing post-qualitative methodology in zooethnographic space’. International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, 26(6): 717-731.

The link should go direct to the paper if you’re logged in with EASE.
