  New Formations is a journal of cultural debate, history and theory. It brings new and challenging perspectives to bear on the categories that frame cultural analysis and political action. The journal has covered issues ranging from the seduction of perversity to questions of nationalism and post-colonialism. Contributors open up new zones of enquiry whilst drawing new charts of understanding to explain new formations in contemporary life. New Formations brings together in one volume both established and new writers from many walks of critical life. Past contributors have included: Parveen Adams, Nomi Bhabha, Slavoj Zizek, Susan Buck-Morss, Gillian Rose, Jacqueline Rose, Zygmunt Bauman and Christopher Norris. This issue of New Formations is concerned with cultural analysis of new forms of science and technology. It elucidates contemporary and possible future constructions of nature, the body, subjectivity and social space, from a variety of perspectives. As well as cultural studies and feminism, the book is also informed by work in other areas, including medical politics and the history of science. It also examines the hypes and hopes surrounding the network, interactivity and artificial intelligence. Contributors to this volume include: Rosie Braidotti, Neil Tenhaaf and Jan Marchessault.
