  • Staying Alive

    Bruce ClarkeARTICLENew Literary History2023

    Staying Alive:Cybernetic Persistence Bruce Clarke (bio) In some recent writings I ventured to describe what I've called neocybernetic systems theory.1 One way I've approached this description is by drawing a contrast with Bruno Latour's actor-network theory, or ANT.2 A sympathetic colleague remarked that if Latour could own ANT, I should lay claim to my own acronym—NST. Thus, a key difference between these theories is that ANT is built around the…

    Open AccessBruce ClarkeARTICLETheory Culture & Society2017Cited by: 14References: 5

    At its inception innocent of philosophical or metaphysical designs, the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis was soon liberated from the precincts of scientific cultivation to enter into cultural free association. Nonetheless, scientific and scholarly attention and debate have long precipitated a bona fide discourse of Gaia theory. Moreover, intellectually serious extra-scientific figures of Gaia have also been on the rise in the l…

  • The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Posthuman

    Open AccessBruce Clarke, Manuela RossiniEDITORBOOKCambridge Companion to Literature…2016

    The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Posthuman is the first work of its kind to gather diverse critical treatments of the posthuman and posthumanism together in a single volume. Fifteen scholars from six different countries address the historical and aesthetic dimensions of posthuman figures alongside posthumanism as a new paradigm in the critical humanities. The three parts and their chapters trace the history of the posthuman in litera…

  • Archaeology of the Anthropocene

    Matt Edgeworth, Jeffrey Benjamin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contemporary Archaeology2014Cited by: 4

    What role will archaeology play in the Anthropocene – the proposed new geological epoch marked by human impact on Earth systems? That is the question discussed by thirteen archaeologists and other scholars from five continents in this thought-provoking forum. Their responses are diverse and wide-ranging. While Edward Harris looks to archaeological stratigraphy for a material paradigm of the Anthropocene, Alice Gorman explores the extent of human …

    This book offers an innovative examination of the interactions of science and technology, art, and literature in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Scholars in the history of art, literature, architecture, computer science, and media studies focus on five historical themes in the transition from energy to information: thermodynamics, electromagnetism, inscription, information theory, and virtuality.

  • Mediating The Fly

    Bruce ClarkeARTICLEConfigurations2002

    One measure of The Fly's modest cultural purchase is its generation of continuations and variants. Like Frankenstein, this breeding of further episodes has transformed a simple horror story into a collective fabulation—so this is a piece of modern mythology in the raw. The Fly's first author was George Langelaan, a British writer raised in France. 1 Its first appearance was in the form of a short story published in Playboy in June 1957. 2 Within …

    Introduction: Allegory and ScienceAllegory and Science Special Cluster Bruce Clarke (bio) Although the topic of allegory has received some discussion in the criticism of science fiction, the wider relations between allegory and science per se have been little explored. The essays in this special cluster exploit the resources of contemporary allegory theory to investigate some of the links between scientific and mathematical discourses and the for…
