Opis

The human subject is difficult to map for numerous reasons. How do you map something that does not have precise boundaries, that is a set of different, intersecting and sometimes conflicting object positions, that is always on the move and that is only partially locatable in space and time? The essays in this book aim to untangle these difficulties in new ways through case study material and theoretical expositions.
