Engages in an interdisciplinary investigation of the political technologies of the body in the wake of postmodernity, technologies apparent in film, medicine, entertainment industries, politics, and the arts. This book reflects the growing concern with interfaces between humans and computer and bio-medical technologies.
" . . . will draw a wide readership from the ranks of literary critics, film scholars, science studies scholars and the growing legion of 'literature and science' researchers. It should be among the essentials in a posthumanist toolbox." —Richard Doyle Automatic teller machines, castrati, lesbians, The Terminator: all participate in the profound technological, representation, sexual, and theoretical changes in which bodies are implicated. Posthuman Bodies addresses new interfaces between humans and technology that are radically altering the experience of our own and others' bodies.
