520 _aConcerned with cybernetics, transplant technology, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, "the prosthetic" conjures up a posthuman condition. The thirteen essays here reassert the phenomenological, material, and embodied nature of prosthesis without dismissing its metaphorical potential.
520 1 _a"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. Rather than tracking the transformation of one into the other, these essays address this borderline instead, and the delicate dialectical situation in which it places us. Concentrating on this edge, the collection demonstrates how the human has been technologized and technology humanized."--BOOK JACKET.
