Using contributions from a variety of disciplines, this anthology presents the re-discovery of the body and of materiality in relation to media history. In other words, the contributions deal with the media-based representation of bodily concepts and of changing ideas about identity. The new forms of representation of new media bring about changes in self-perception of the body and the self. The authors unearth the myth of post-biological approaches which suggest or predict the novelty of a now apparently feasible jailbreak from the “prison of the body” as not being all that novel after all (p. 7), but as having existed throughout history. This outlook also helps put into perspective the possibilities and limits which the electronic media may offer.Downloads
