Sinossi

In an era where technology and biology converge, Embodying the Matrix: Technology, Gender, and Identity in the Digital Age explores the profound impact of technology on our understanding of gender, identity, and the very nature of being human.

At the heart of this exploration lies the concept of the cyborg—a figure that embodies the fusion of human and machine. This book delves into the ways in which the cyborg has been imagined and represented in popular culture, from science fiction to film, television, and video games. It examines how these representations shape our understanding of gender, embodiment, and the boundaries between the natural and the artificial.

Through a series of thought-provoking chapters, Embodying the Matrix interrogates the gendered design of technology, the impact of technology on gender roles, and the representation of gender in technoscience. It explores the potential of the cyborg to challenge traditional notions of family, work, and the law, while also considering the ethical and social implications of these technological advancements.

This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the cyborg phenomenon, drawing on insights from gender studies, science and technology studies, cultural studies, and philosophy. It engages with the work of leading scholars and thinkers in these fields to provide a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the cyborg's significance in shaping our contemporary world.

Embodying the Matrix is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of technology, gender, and the human condition. It is a timely and provocative exploration of one of the most pressing issues of our time, offering a unique perspective on the evolving relationship between humans and machines.

This book invites readers to question their assumptions about what it means to be human in an age of rapid technological change. It challenges us to confront our fears and embrace the possibilities of a future where humans and machines coexist and co-create.

    The Age of Revolution has traditionally been understood as an era of secularization, giving the transition from monarchy to independent republics through democratic movements a genealogy that assumes hostility to Catholicism. By centering the story on Spanish and Latin American actors, Pamela Voekel argues that at the heart of this nineteenth-century transformation in Spanish America was a transatlantic Catholic civil war. Voekel demonstrates Reform Catholicism's significance to the thought and action of the rebel literati who led decolonization efforts in Mexico and Central America, showing how each side of this religious divide operated from within a self-conscious intercontinental network of like-minded Catholics. For its central protagonists, the era's crisis of sovereignty provided a political stage for a religious struggle. Drawing on ecclesiastical archives, pamphlets, sermons, and tracts, For God and Liberty reveals how the violent struggles of decolonization and the period before and after Independence are more legible in light of the fault lines within the Church.

    For many fans and casual observers, professional sports and violence are deeply connected. Violence on the field has real consequences for players, notably in the form of life-altering injuries from concussions. Off the field, in the last several decades, scores of athletes have committed violent acts, from domestic abuse and sexual assault to animal abuse and murder. Beyond athletes, sport also serves as a site of political and structural violence, from the displacement and hyperpolicing of everyday people for mega-events to the "sportswashing" of environmentally harmful industries. 
     
     
     
    Daniel Sailofsky examines the endemic violence in professional sports and argues that—while related to masculinity, misogyny, and individual factors like alcohol consumption and gambling—it is most intimately tied to capitalism and to capitalist modes of consumption and profit. Sailofsky explains how capitalism creates the conditions for violence to thrive and uncovers how sports leaders—coaches, league officials, and team owners—obfuscate these relationships to avoid accountability. 
     
     
     
    From minor league baseball exploitation to spectator hooliganism, Sailofsky shows the connections between the business of sports and violence, but also, more importantly, he imagines new forms of sport that are not places of harm.

    After disastrous experiences in law and education, Jake Kazmareck tries to disappear into a menial job picking melons on a farm in the Rio Grande Valley. 
    An estranged friend tracks him down, however, with news that their mutual bosom buddy is not dead but rotting in a Mexican prison. The stage is set for his rescue. 
    Jake, Connors McClain, and Artie Cavazos’s friendship was forged during an almost fatal canoe trip in which only Artie’s genius for survival kept them alive. Their brush with death, however, unleashed in Jake a primitive beast that has never stopped plaguing him. 
    A few years later, the three engage in an attempt to rescue Artie’s uncle and family from the Mexican drug cartel that had forced his uncle to work for them. Jake mistakenly attributes their failure, and Artie’s death, to Connors’s betrayal. 
    When Connors later contacts Jake, he shares some startling news. Connors, now the Texas attorney general, has discovered that Artie is still alive and imprisoned in a Mexican jail. 
    The harrowing rescue is successful, but Artie’s experiences have effectively destroyed his spirit. Jake and Connors now reconciled, they enlist the aid of psychiatrist Judith Neuwirth to try to piece back together Artie’s shattered self. 
    In the process, Jake is again confronted with the beast in himself. Will he learn to accommodate it, or will it destroy him? Is it an essential part of us that must be accepted? Or must it be fought to the death?
