Book Description

Zone 6 October 8, 1992
This volume of Zone presents a diverse group of reflections and interventions on the fate of the body and of subjectivity within twentieth-century modernity. Essays, image-text projects, photographic dossiers, and philosophical and scientific articles examine the multiple emergences over the last 100 years of new models of life based on technological and biological developments, whose roots go back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but whose full expression is only beginning to emerge.

These new transformations and modalities are discussed and figured in relation to an older set of models that long ago began to dissolve - the classical notions of unity, interiority, and organism. In its heterogeneous approach, Zone 6: Incorporations provides a rich cartographic description of the particular capacities and trajectories of the contemporary body drawing on the work of neurologists, anthropologists, filmmakers, architects, philosophers, historians, biologists, dancers, novelists, and artists.

Contributors include: Paul Rabinow, Eve Sedgwick, François Dagognet, Peter Eisenman, J. G. Ballard, Donna Haraway, Gilles Deleuze, Klaus Theweleit, Elaine Scarry, Francisco Varela, Liz Diller, Ric Scofidio, John O'Neill, Manuel DeLanda, and Ana Barado.

5.0 out of 5 stars (Post) Modern biology, physics and philosophy, September 30, 2001
This review is from: Incorporations (Zone 6) (Paperback)
The essays are magnificent, and the accompanying photographs and design layout equal in standard.
Excellent thoughts on modern biology, physics, philosophy and sociology: Made BY thinking women and men FOR thinking women and men, and not just a compilation of the pedantic, quasi-intellectual, postmodern stuff spurted (preached?) by many. Human thought at its best. Buy it, or any other book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Collection of solid PostModern essays, April 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Incorporations (Zone 6) (Paperback)
Incorporations was a good mix of essays from a range of authors. It provided interesting perspectives of Postmodern thoughts and culture but also incorporated (no pun intended) some ideas from the modern as well. All in all I found it very thought provoking, not to mention the great layout and design work that it contains in a few of the picture essays. Yet another great Zone book!
