| Abstract
|
:
|
"Social and Virtual Space is a material and semiotic study of transnationalism, analyzed in terms of race, class, gender, and sexuality. The objects of analysis range from the aftermath of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, to science fiction by Pat Cadigan, C.J. Cherryh, and Samuel Delany, to material-semiotic feminist theory by Donna Haraway, and to the neo-Marxist historical geography of Mike Davis and David Harvey."--Jacket.
