Puskar's theoretical approach raises questions about political subjectivity, individual agency, and the concept of the human, drawing from various disciplines. The book is divided into five parts, each focusing on different aspects of switching practices and their implications on human-world relations, playful interactions, and the constitution of the ideal liberal subject. While Puskar's analysis lacks a clear moral standpoint on the effects of switches, it offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between humans and technology. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
