orig.cloth Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper. 29x20cm, vii,297 pp "Where does the body end? This book explores the material and metaphorical borderline between flesh and its accompanying technologies.Prosthesis - pointing to an addition, replacement, extension, enhancement - has become something of an all-purpose metaphor for the interactions of body and technology. Concerned with cybernetics, transplant technology, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, among other cultural and scientific developments, "the prosthetic" conjures up a posthuman condition. In response to this, the thirteen original essays in "The Prosthetic Impulse" reassert the phenomenological, material, and embodied nature of prosthesis without dismissing its metaphorical potential. They examine the historical and conceptual edge between the human and the posthuman - between flesh and its accompanying technologies.The eclectic approach taken by "The Prosthetic Impulse" draws on disciplines ranging from gender studies, philosophy, and visual culture to psychoanalysis, cybertheory, and phenomenology. Taken together, the essays suggest that prosthesis is material as well as metaphorical.,." - Publisher's description. Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper.
