Blackand
the
questions
it

for
performance

community.
Contributors come from a range of backgrounds and explore the digital innovations and technical interactions between human and machine that allow the show to challenge conventional notions of performance and identity, address family themes, andOrphan Black’s own textual genealogy within the contexts of science, reproductive technology, and the politics of gender, and extend their inquiry to the broader question of community in a "posthuman" world of biopolitical power. Mobilizing philosophy, history of science, and literary theory, scholars analyze the ways in whichOrphan Blackdepicts resistance to the many forms of power that attempt to capture, monitor, and shape life today.

Recenzii
"A
diverse
yet
coherent
collection
of
essays
that
each
contribute
something
singular
while
transitioning
seamlessly
from
one
piece
to
the
next.
Indeed,
the
text
accomplishes
the
editors’
stated
purpose
to
‘explicitly
explore
the
overlaps
between
two
or
more
of
our
key
words’
(9).
The
authors’
syndetic
considerations
of
performance,
gender
and
biopolitics
map
the
intricate
world
ofOrphan
Blackto
reveal
that
our
present
is
very
much
implicated
in
the
futures
the
series
imagines. .
.
.
[It]
offers
fruitful
analyses
of
both
the
series
and
its
genre
and
the
wider
theoretical
networks
that
lend
it
its
significance.
This
work
onOrphan
Blackdelivers
complex
engagements
with
film
theory,
community,
technology,
biopolitics,
immunity
studies,
disability
studies,
female
identity,
performance
and
many
other
lenses
too
diverse
to
list
here.
Its
essays
would
be
instrumental
to
scholars
considering
the
series
from
myriad
positions.
.
.
. This
collection
presents
theoretical
frameworks
and
compelling
readings
that
structure
the
series
for
readers,
provoking
new
lines
of
inquiry.
.
.
.Orphan
Blackoccupies
an
interesting
liminality
in
its
near-futurity
that
prompts
us
to
look
for
sf
within
our
own
lives.
This
collection
captures
that
self-relationality
and
tracks
its
evolution
into
new
ways
of
being
together,
serving
as
an
intriguing
jumping-off
point
for
future
work
onOrphan
Blackand
cloning
fiction
in
general."
