Critiques of Knowing: Situated Textualities in Science, Computing and The Arts by Lynette Hunter

by Lynette Hunter

Critiques of Knowing explores what happens to science and computing when we think of them as texts. Lynette Hunter elegantly weaves together vast areas of rhetoric, politics, AI, computing, feminism, science studies, aesthetics and epistemology.Critiques of Knowing shows us that what we need is a radical shake-up of approaches to the arts if the critiques of science and computing are to come to any fruition.
