Biotechnology, Philosophy and Sex
The present special issue of Maska, dedicated to Biotechnology, Philosophy and Sex, with its texts presented also on an international conference, brings a renewed reflection on science and technology, bio-chips and organs, the male and the female (trans-sexuality) within the framework of a philosophical and interdisciplinary (artistic, cultural, political) context. Cloning and diverse attitudes towards globality have a deep impact on the policy of representation that focuses on the human body and thus develops systems and paradigms, structures and matrixes of representations of bodies, which are determined through history, social gender and class.
