What is ‘life’ and how do we define its boundaries? Is life
immeasurable or are there levels of ‘liveliness’? How should we
relate to entities that are not technically alive at all? As the
world becomes increasingly technologized, questions about what
counts as ‘life’ and ‘living’ have become a key field of
inquiry in contemporary philosophical and arts discourse. As Mel
Chen acknowledges in Animacies (2012), the "continued rethinking of
life and death’s proper boundaries" has increasingly been
recognized as a priority in twenty-first-century North American,
European and Australasian critical theory. Indeed, the contributors
of this volume go as far as to argue that the question of life has
become the central problematic of recent feminist biopolitics,
alongside discussions of scientific ethics and
technological/organic power relationships. This volume explores
points of intersection and divergence between critical conceptions
of time and technology, drawing on a range of perspectives and
approaches to examine our mediated and material embodied
entanglements with key questions about life and death. It is a
significant new contribution to the study of corporeality in gender
studies and feminism, and will be of interest to academics,
researchers and advanced students of philosophy, gender studies,
literary theory, and politics. It was originally published as a
special issue of Australian Feminist Studies.
