Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Eight Technologies of Otherness is a bold and provocative re-thinking of identities, politics, philosophy, ethics, and cultural practices themselves. A book which journeys amongst and through the very unholy groundings of corrupted surfaces, imbued with strange time, space, matter and speed. Gathered here are thirty-three artists, philosophers, filmmakers, writers, photographers, political militants, and 'pulp-theory' practitioners who consider the eight technologies: curiousity, noise, cruelty, appetite, skin, nomadism, contamination and dwelling. Contributors include: Kathy Acker, Ajamu, Andrew Benjamin, Steven Berkoff, Sky Gilbert, Sue Golding, Arthur and Marilouise Kroker, Jean-Luc Nancy, Joan Nestle, Catherine Opie, Adrian Rifkin, Jeffrey Weeks.

About the Author
Sue Golding is in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Greenwich, and is also a theatre director, producer, and political activist. She is the author of Gramsci's Democratic Theory (1992), and is a contributor to The Sexed City (forthcoming from Routledge) and Sexy Bodies (Routledge, 1996).

5.0 out of 5 stars a little mind blowing, sexy and smart;wild use of technology, March 14, 2000
By malcolm (london, england) - See all my reviews
as a kind of music nerd, i came across this book looking for different ways 'technology' is used these days. this book blew me away -- it has 8 sections [or technologies] like skin, cruelty, contamination [i can't remember them all]. but it was like surfing in some incredible ocean -- intense and hard, but also with some funk/acid thrown in. recommend you read it slow, and just kind of dip into it. wow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Utter genius, March 23, 2000
By Michel Foucault (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This book, or should I say, work of sublime genius is necessary reading for any one concerned, worried, excited, turned-on, bored by the events of this age. This work alleviates the itch and creates a new high water mark for current philosophy. A must read for any serious human.

This work appears to function far above my level, so it must be exceptional.
