ISBN-13: 978-0-691-16481-6, ISBN: 0-691-16481-9

" What is life? What is water? What is sound? In Sounding the Limits of Life, anthropologist Stefan Helmreich investigates how contemporary scientists--biologists, oceanographers, and audio engineers--are redefining these crucial concepts. Life, water, and sound are phenomena at once empirical and abstract, material and formal, scientific and social. In the age of synthetic biology, rising sea levels, and new technologies of listening ..."

"Explorations of the many ways of being material in the digital age.In his oracular 1995 book Being Digital, Nicholas Negroponte predicted that social relations, media, and commerce would move from the realm of “atoms to bits”―that human affairs would be increasingly untethered from the material world. And yet in 2019, an age dominated by the digital, we have not quite left the material world behind. In Being Material, artists and techno ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-9851364-2-0, ISBN: 0-9851364-2-1

"Electronic composer and sound artist Florian Hecker (born 1975) has made inventive use of contrasting and conflicting auditory illusions or chimeras--perhaps most famously on his recent acclaimed Mego album Acid in the Style of David Tudor, which brilliantly and bizarrely merged the two soundworlds of acid house and avant-garde electronics. Auditory chimeras have been previously explored in electroacoustic music, in particular by Alvin ..."

"Christen Raunkiær's technical meaning of “life-form” is still in strong use in botany—and employed a good deal in invasion biology to fix on the adaptational reproductive characteristics of invasive, or “alien,” species, keeping alive the biogeographic meaning pioneered by Humboldt. The OED credits Raunkiær for bringing “life-form” into common usage, despite the fact that Lebensform and “life- form” had been in use for about one hun ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-930618-19-0, ISBN: 1-930618-19-0

"The boundaries of life now occupy a place of central concern among biological anthropologists. Because of the centrality of the modern biological definition of life to Euro-American medicine and anthropology, the definition of life itself and its contestation exemplify competing uses of knowledge. On the one hand, "life" and "death" may be redefined as partial or contingent ("brain death"), or reconstituted altogether ("virtual" or "art ..."
