Chivalry and the Pre/Postmodern.

Description: Explores the medieval concept of "mounted knighthood" in "conception and practice," considering how it resonates with "postmodern models of the cyborg, distributed consciousness and the inherently prosthetic self." Assesses "chivalry's intersections with technologies and creatures," and includes discussion of the steed of brass in SqT as a "limit case for the relevance of living horses to knighthood," technologized but still glimmering with life.
