description |
A number of scholars have attempted to outline both a field of “cyborgology” and a set of dominant concerns and tropes concerning the phenomena of accelerating human-machine hybrids. This article argues that, in contrast to popular conceptions of cyborgs as extreme, posthuman monsters, the cyborg concept can be usefully applied to mundane technologies such as automobiles, and that the proliferation of these “mundane cyborgs” is an important consideration in theorizing the cyborg. The essay offers some definitions and typologies of cyborgs, and applies these to the notion that automobiles are exoskeletons with cyborgian consequences. |
