Unknown Author

4.9/5 (18846 ratings)

Description:What is 'life' and how do we define its boundaries? Is life immeasurable or are there levels of 'liveliness'? How should we relate to entities that are not technically alive at all? As the world becomes increasingly technologized, questions about what counts as 'life' and 'living' have become a key field of inquiry in contemporary philosophical and arts discourse. As Mel Chen acknowledges in Animacies (2012), the "continued rethinking of life and death's proper boundaries" has increasingly been recognized as a priority in twenty-first-century North American, European and Australasian critical theory. Indeed, the contributors of this volume go as far as to argue that the question of life has become the central problematic of recent feminist biopolitics, alongside discussions of scientific ethics and technological/organic power relationships.This volume explores points of intersection and divergence between critical conceptions of time and technology, drawing on a range of perspectives and approaches to examine our mediated and material embodied entanglements with key questions about life and death. It is a significant new contribution to the study of corporeality in gender studies and feminism, and will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students of philosophy, gender studies, literary theory, and politics.It was originally published as a special issue of Australian Feminist Studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
