>>From the Classical Age to the age of mechanical
>>reproduction, philosophical and
>literary representations of the machine tell the story of an accelerating
>progress in science, and of manís expanding empire into every part of the
>natural world -- but they also read as a
>genealogy and blueprint for the modern
>subject. In this panel, we will be taking a cross-disciplinary approach to the
>question of technology and the modern subject, examining literary,
>philosophical and artistic representations of machines since the 17th century
>that give insight into the mechanisms of
>subjectivity. Possible topics include,
>but are not limited to: "decay of the auraî; discourse as production; the
>organism and the mechanism; theatrical machinery and state power; gender and
>the machine; bio-power and empire; and the technology of surveillance. Papers
>on specific technologies are encouraged. Send 300 to 400-word abstracts to
>Peter Gaffney ([log in to unmask]) no later than September 15.
