Donna J. Haraway

“King... here offers a challenging, meandering take on feminist transdisciplinary posthumanities through the lens of networked reenactment--what one could think of as transmedia storytelling, experiments in communication, and/or epistemological melodramas.... Recommended.”—S.E. Vie, CHOICE Magazine

“Theoretically rigorous, these books are also highly pragmatic in recommending activism for social justice…. King bases her argument on factually dense case studies organized in loose chronological order… [T]he organization works well to support historical analysis of a specific period… it is rewarding because her analysis is so trenchant.”—Carol Colatrella, Postmodern Culture

“In this lively, thoughtful, and provocative book, Katie King traces the multiple layers and complex intertwined ‘communities of practice’ that assemble around such diverse discursive sites as television programs, academic classes and conferences, museum exhibitions, and other public spectacles. Networked Reenactments leaves the reader with a heightened sense of the possibilities, as well as the limits and dangers, of contemporary knowledge production, of the ways that we collectively make meanings and understand the heritage of the past in the present.”—Steven Shaviro, author of Connected, or What It Means to Live in the Network Society
