- Summary:
-
Defined as that space of collision between human and machine, where technology and humanity fuse, is the "prosthetic territory." Within that territory a new political and cultural struggle emerges, a territory where theory and practice can converge. The essayists in this volume approach in innovative ways topics in feminism, Marxism, postcolonialism, queer theory, psychoanalysis, postmodernism, political theory, and the critique of racism and technique.
