Wary, on the one hand, of the disempowering habit of viewing
technology as a satanic mill of domination, and weary, on the
other, of postmodernist celebrations of the technologically
sublime, Constance Penley and Andrew Ross have compiled a group of
provocative case studies by contributors whose critical knowledge
provides a realistic assessment of the politics currently at stake
in those cultural practices touched by advanced technology. The
groups examined here range from high-tech office workers, "Star
Trek" fans, and Japanese technoporn producers, to teenage hackers,
AIDS activists, rap groups, and rock stars. Each has something to
tell us about both the production and the management of repressive
technocultures and about the politics of creative appropriation.
But above all, "Technoculture" suggests some new and timely
possibilities for the encouragement of technoliteracy - a crucial
requirement not just for postmodern survival but also for the
decolonization, demonopolization and democratization of social
communication. Constance Penley teaches English and Film Studies at
the University of Rochester. Andrew Ross teaches English at
Princeton University.
