Limits of Life

Reflections on Life, Death, and the Body in the Age of Technoscience

220 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

New technologies and scientific imagination rearrange the boundary that we identify as the beginning and end of life. New techno-social constellations, such as the ever-increasing presence of digital avatars and genetic screenings, implore us to reconsider and transcend the existing definitions of life and death. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this volume explores how the limitations and perceived finality of life and death are reconstituted through engagements with modern technology.
