1 The materialization of race in modern technologies Hammonds, “New Technologies of Race” Barboza, “Ogre to Slay? Outsource it to the Chinese”

2 Morphing technology: Michael Jackson: Black or White

5 “In this technology persons of different races are not produced as a result of sexual intercourse between persons of two different races but by a computer- generated simulation of the mixing of genetic characteristics that are presumed to be determinants of morphological differences between pure racial types” (109).

6 “ [Sim Eve] is the representation of the desire to deny kinship and retain masculine power based on the maintenance of racial difference ” (120).
