Cyborg Theatre Corporeal/Technological Intersections in Multimedia Performance

Cyborg Theatre: Corporeal/Technological Intersections in Multimedia Performance by J. Parker-Starbuck, published by Palgrave Macmillan UK on April 28, 2011, explores the innovative concept of ‘cyborg theatre.’ This edition, comprising 241 pages, presents a theoretical framework that integrates on-stage bodies with technology, aiming to redefine notions of subjectivity in a post-human context. The book delves into various examples to illustrate how performance can be understood through the lens of technological and digital influences.

Readers will find a comprehensive examination of the intersections between performing arts and technology, with discussions that encompass themes from media studies, gender studies, and interactive multimedia. The work proposes new theoretical tools that are essential for understanding the evolving landscape of performance in contemporary society. By addressing the complexities of cyborg identities, this book invites a deeper reflection on the role of technology in shaping artistic expression and human experience.
