Cyborg Experiments: The Extensions of the Body in the Media Age

by Joanna Zylinska (Editor)

The Cyborg Experiments analyzes the challenges posed to corporeality by technology. The essays in this timely and important collection explore new conceptions of embodiment, identity and otherness in the age of new technologies. In this way the book explores how humanism, and ideas of "the human," have been placed under increasing scrutiny as a result of new developments in science, media and communications.
