'The Performing Subject in the Space of Technology challenges perceived notions of 'virtual' and 'real' in a collection of fascinating essays. It explores the ubiquity of technology in both academia and professional practice, emphasising the experience of body/ technology encounters. The first half of the book brings a variety of philosophical approaches to technology, politics and ethics, while the latter half draws the richness of the practitioner's embodied perspective into the bag of analytical tools.' - Sita Popat, University of Leeds, UK
