- Description
- This volume contains current issues of embodiment and related aspects such as identity, gender, disability or sexuality, discussed on the basis of examples from contemporary culture and social life. Inspired by Donna Haraway’s concept of the cyborg as a transgressor of boundaries, the book examines fluidity of post-human bodies including cyber relations to others and to self and dis/utopian fantasies offered by literary texts.
