Since World War II, the biological and technological have been fusing and merging in new ways, resulting in the loss of a distinction between the two. This title deals with the fusion of biological and technological power and the entanglements of biocultures.


Anneke Smelik is professor of visual culture at the Radboud University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Nina Lykke is professor of gender studies, Linkoeping University, Sweden, and head of the Nordic Research School in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies.
