Its sheer breadth of scope makes it unlike the usual science, technology, and society texts. Since both the body and technoscience are such potent sites of recent academic investigation, Posthuman Bodies will no doubt 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, Pennsylvania State University) XX Automatic teller machines, castrati, lesbians and other queers, people with AIDS, people with multiple personality disorders, the Alien and the Terminator: all participate in the profound technological, representational, 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. The contributors are Kathy Acker; Alexandra Chasin, Camilla Griggers, Judith Halberstam, Kelly Hurley, Ira Livingston, Carol Mason, Paula Rabinowitz, Roddey Reid, Steven Shaviro, Susan M. Squier, Allucquere Rosanne Stone, Jennifer Terry, and Eric White. XX Judith Halberstam is Assistant Professor of Literature at the University of California, San Diego.
