Hyaesin Yoon examines the entanglements of humans, animals, and technologies across South Korea and the United States at the turn of this century to outline alternate modes of memory and connection that can enact feminist and decolonial politics.
"In Prosthetic Memories, Hyaesi Yoon examines how personal and cultural memory are externalized through a "chimeralogical" merging of animal, human, and machine at the turn of the twenty-first century. While many critics have hewn to an idea of prosthetic memory as false or supplemental memory, Yoon contends that prosthetic memory is a promising mode for apprehending how human memory is extended into both machines and animals. Far from being an alien technology, prosthetic memory reaches into the most intimate corners of our lives to foster networks of solidarity and empathy between human and non-human subjects. Yoon takes up dog cloning in Korea, Asian-American poetry that engages the human-machine divide, and stem cell research as sites that activate potent feminist mnemonics, or methods for remembering feminist and decolonial practices"--
