Michael Menser appraises the architecture of Lebbeus Woods
guided by the beacons of Deleuze and Guattari in:
"Becoming-Heterarch: On Technocultural Theory, Minor
Science and the Production of Space," in the recently
published "Technoscience and Cyberculture," edited by
Stanley Aronowitz, Barbara Martinson and Michael Menser,
Routledge, 1996.
Woods surveys the devastation of technoculture with an
anarchitectural inquiry, "The Question of Space."
The volume features related ruminations by another dozen,
from Broughton to Boyle; De Landa to Delany, Kroker to
Zolkower, Traweek to Trottier.
It begins with "The Cultural Study of Science and
Technology: A Manifesto," braved by Aronowitz and Menser.
Then vaunts and reckons:
"From the Social Study of Science to Cultural Studies,"
immuted by Dorothy Nelkin, Sharon Traweek, Betina Zolkower
and Emily Martin.
"World, Weather, War," vortexted by Andrew Ross, Jody
Berland and John Broughton.
"Markets and the Future of Work," heaved by Arthur Kroker,
Manuel De Landa and William DiFazio.
"Bioethics," beagled by Philip Boyle and Ralph Trottier.
"Risky Reading, Writing, and Other Unsafe Practices," sci-
fueled by Peter Lamborn Wilson, Barbara Martinsons and
Samuel R. Delany.
Woods and Menser, in close, disarray emplaced stakes in
"Visualizing and Producing Anarchic Spaces."
Most essays are new, with a few reprints. All jiggle
neurons.
