Life, Re-Scaled: The Biological Imagination in Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance
Abstract
Life, Re-Scaled explores new engagements with the life sciences in contemporary fiction, poetry, comics and performance. The gathered case studies investigate how recent creative work reframes the human within microscopic and macroscopic scales, from cellular biology to systems ecology. Literature and performance are explored as spaces that shape our contemporary biological imagination, and engage with the ethical, philosophical, and political issues raised by the twenty-first century’s shifting views of life.
