Technified Muses: Reconfiguring National Bodies in the Mexican Avant-Garde
by Sara A. PotterExamining representations of the female body in postrevolutionary genre literature In this volume, Sara Potter uses the idea of the muse from Greek mythology and the cyborg from posthuman theory to consider the portrayal of female characters and their bodies in Mexican art and literature from the 1920s to the present. Examining genres including science fiction, cyberpunk, and popular fiction, Potter finds that “technified muse” figures often appear in these texts at moments of violence and sociopolitical transformation. Potter begins by looking at two avant-garde movements that emerged in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution: the Estridentistas and the Contemporáneos. Moving to the “Mexican Miracle,” a midcentury period of economic prosperity, she considers the work of surrealists Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo within their cultural and political climates. She then addresses the aftermath of the 1968 student massacre in Tlatelolco as explored in Fernando del Paso’s Palinuro de México and Juan García Ponce’s Crónica de la intervención. Finally, Potter engages with the era that began with the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement and Zapatista rebellion, drawing from Bernardo Fernández’s Gel azul, Guadalupe Nettel’s El huésped, and Karen Chacek’s La caída de los pájaros. Technified Muses shows that during these key periods, writers created muse-like characters that interact with the technological discourses of their times. These figures reflect the increasing emphasis on science and progress throughout the twentieth century, embodying the modernization of Mexico while offering parallel narratives that challenge official portrayals of the nation’s history. Publication of this work made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Technologies of the Gothic in Literature and Culture: Technogothics (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature)
by Justin D. EdwardsThis volume, a collection with contributions from some of the major scholars of the Gothic in literature and culture, reflects on how recent Gothic studies have foregrounded a plethora of technologies associated with Gothic literary and cultural production. The engaging essays look into the links between technologies and the proliferation of the Gothic seen in an excess of Gothic texts and tropes: Frankensteinesque experiments, the manufacture of synthetic (true?) blood, Moreauesque hybrids, the power of the Borg, Dr Jekyll’s chemical experimentations, the machinery of Steampunk, or the corporeal modifications of Edward Scissorhands. Further, they explore how techno-science has contributed to the proliferation of the Gothic: Gothic in social media, digital technologies, the on-line gaming and virtual Goth/ic communities, the special effects of Gothic-horror cinema. Contributors address how Gothic technologies have, in a general sense, produced and perpetuated ideologies and influenced the politics of cultural practice, asking significant questions: How has the technology of the Gothic contributed to the writing of self and other? How have Gothic technologies been gendered, sexualized, encrypted, coded or de-coded? How has the Gothic manifested itself in new technologies across diverse geographical locations? This volume explores how Gothic technologies textualize identities and construct communities within a complex network of power relations in local, national, transnational, and global contexts. It will be of interest to scholars of the literary Gothic, extending beyond to include fascinating interventions into the areas of cultural studies, popular culture, science fiction, film, and TV.
Technophobia!: Science Fiction Visions of Posthuman Technology
by Daniel DinelloTechno-heaven or techno-hell? If you believe many scientists working in the emerging fields of twenty-first-century technology, the future is blissfully bright. Initially, human bodies will be perfected through genetic manipulation and the fusion of human and machine; later, human beings will completely shed the shackles of pain, disease, and even death, as human minds are downloaded into death-free robots whereby they can live forever in a heavenly "posthuman" existence. In this techno-utopian future, humanity will be saved by the godlike power of technology. If you believe the authors of science fiction, however, posthuman evolution marks the beginning of the end of human freedom, values, and identity. Our dark future will be dominated by mad scientists, rampaging robots, killer clones, and uncontrollable viruses. In this timely new book, Daniel Dinello examines "the dramatic conflict between the techno-utopia promised by real-world scientists and the techno-dystopia predicted by science fiction."
