Cimini locates in Amacher's world of musical creation a nascent techno-feminist theory of embodiment; this theory is a goad to imagine the world otherwise. Wild Sound will set a new high standard for emerging waves of scholarship at the intersection of late-twentieth-century experimentalism, global political economy, and feminist theories of power.
