Defined as that space of collision between human and machine, where technology and humanity fuse, is the "prosthetic territory" of postmodern existence. Within that territory a new terrain of political and cultural struggle is emerging - a place where theory and practice can converge. This collection of essays maps the terrains of political struggle by deploying a range of poststructuralist concepts embodied in phrases such as "technology of writing", "corporeal city", "cartographic self", "geography of the body," "words as ligatures', "battleground of bodily form", "semiotic guerilla warfare', veil of print", "textual architecture" and "materiality of printed text". these phrases allow the authors to approach such topics as feminism, marxism, post-colonialism, queer theory and the critique of racism and technique.
