These theoretical approaches, Clough suggests, have become the vehicles of unconscious thought in our time.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn individual chapters, Clough juxtaposes the likes of Derridean deconstruction, Deleuzian philosophy, and Lacanian psychoanalysis. She works through the writings of Fredric Jameson, Donna Haraway, Judith Butler, Bruno Latour, Nancy Fraser, Elizabeth Grosz--to name only a few--placing all in dialogue with a teletechnological framework. Clough shows how these cultural criticisms have raised questions about the foundation of thought, allowing us to reenvision the relationship of nature and technology, the human and the machine, the virtual and the real, the living and the inert.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Ticineto Clough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816628890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816628896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.85h x 5.86w x 0.46d","brand":"Patricia Ticineto Clough","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086942843135,"sku":"9780816628896","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_045da3f6-16a5-4e2f-a739-c7d02a596605.jpg?v=1769097421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autoaffection-patricia-ticineto-clough-9780816628896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
