Cyborg Theatre: Corporeal/Technological Intersections in Multimedia Performance - Hardcover

by J. Parker-Starbuck (Author)

This book articulates the first theoretical context for a 'cyborg theatre', metaphorically integrating on-stage bodies with the technologized, digitized, or mediatized, to re-imagine subjectivity for a post-human age. It covers a variety of examples, to propose new theoretical tools for understanding performance in our changing world.
