Product Description
This volume of "Zone" presents a diverse group of reflections and interventions on the fate of the body and of subjectivity within 20th century modernity. Essays, image-text projects, photographic dossiers, and philosophical and scientific articles examine the multiple emergences over the past 100 years of new models of life based on technological and biological developments, whose roots go back to the 18th and 19th centuries, but whose full expression is only beginning to emerge. These new transformations and modalities are discussed and figured in relation to an older set of models that long ago began to dissolve - the classical notions of unity, interiority and organism. In its heterogeneous approach, "Zone 6: Incorporations" provides a cartographic description of the particular capacities and trajectories of the contemporary body - drawing on the work of neurologists, anthropologists, filmmakers, architects, philosophers, historians, biologists, dancers, novelists and artists. The contributors include: Paul Rainbow; Eve Sedgwick; Francois Dagognet; Peter Eisenman; J.G. Ballard; Donna Haraway; Gilles Deleuze; Klaus Theweleit; Elaine Scarry; Francisco Varela; Liz Diller; Ric Scofidio; John O'Neill; Manuel DeLanda; Ana Barado. Contributors: P. Rabinow, E. Sedgwick, F.
