> The figure of the cyborg has become a centerpiece in cultural and  
> scholarly inquiry. The term "cyborg" has been applied broadly to  
> include the environmental and social changes brought on by  
> information and communications technology, but it has also been  
> used to consider the implications of technology as it applies to  
> issues specifically relating to embodiment. Investigations of  
> cyborgism have been seen and studied in various realms, from	
> cultural entertainment fare such as literature, film, and comics,  
> to journalistic investigations of new transplantation,  
> pharmaceutical, surgical, and prosthetic technologies and  
> procedures. This panel invites proposals for papers that  
> investigate the ontological implications of cyborg embodiment in  
> any of these realms. Possible cyborg-themed inquiries might  
> consider media or cultural representations of:
>
> Narratives of distributed consciousness
> Medical procedures and pharmaceutical technologies
> Cyberpunk film and literature
> Performance art of Stelarc
> Performance art of Orlan
> Assisted Reproductive Technologies
> Artist activism on cyborg themes such as Critical Art Ensemble
> Posthuman paradigms in criticism (i.e. N. Katherine Hayles, Scott  
> Bukatman, Thomas Foster)
> Kevin Warwick's cyborg experiments
> Verichip technologies
