Book review: Life after new media: mediation as a vital process
No full textIn Life after New Media, Sarah Kember and Joanna Zylinska make a case for a significant shift in our understanding of new media. They argue that we should move beyond our fascination with objects such as smart phones to an examination of the interlocking technical, social, and biological processes of mediation. Kim Toffoletti believes this ambitious project succeeds in convincing us to think differently about new media, and makes a key intervention into the fields of technology and media studies, by calling attention to the complexities that arise in the processes, interactions and encounters with media that confound dichotomous ways of interpreting media objects

Catastrophic Subjects: Feminism, the Posthuman and Difference
No full textThis article considers the question of difference in posthuman representations, through an interrogation of feminist reclamations of monstrous and cyborg forms. Through a critical analysis of the popular culture phenomenon Marilyn Manson, I pursue an alternative engagement with hybrid forms that disrupts the oppositional structuring of self/Other relations upon which a politics of identity and difference gains currency. Theories of the monstrous, Jean Baudrillard's writing on catastrophe, and digital morphing are explored to interrogate established understandings of difference within the context of a simulation culture that complicates the binaries of gender difference. Theorizing the posthuman subject as catastrophic occasions new imaginings for the subject that reside beyond the fixity of signifying practice

Sport, postfeminism and women with disabilities: female paralympians on social media
No full textIn a postfeminist and neoliberal environment where women are increasingly held personally responsible for finding innovative market solutions to gender inequalities, this chapter explores how sportswomen who have been conventionally rendered socially “invisible” by disability craft their feminine and sporting identities online to generate greater media exposure. Toffoletti investigates whether postfeminist sentiments within culture make possible greater visibility for sporting women with disabilities and explores the terms by which this public visibility is allowable. The social media use of eight Australian female athletes competing in the 2016 Paralympic Games provides the case study for analysis. This research highlights the need for scholarly consideration of the experiences and portrayals of women with disabilities within analyses of postfeminist culture
Cyborgs and Barbie dolls : feminism, popular culture and the posthuman body
No full textBringing a lively and accessible style to a complex subject, "Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls" explores the idea of the 'posthuman' and the ways in which it is represented in popular culture. Toffoletti explores images of the posthuman body from goth-rocker Marilyn Manson's digitally manipulated self-portraits to the famous TDK 'baby' adverts, and from the work of artist Patricia Piccinini to the curiously 'plastic' form of the ubiquitous Barbie doll, controversially rescued here from her negative image. Drawing on the work of thinkers including Baudrillard, Donna Haraway and Rosi Braidotti, "Cyborgs and Barbie Dolls" explores the nature of the human - and its ambiguous gender - in an age of biotechnologies and digital worlds.<br
