Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The World Behind the Text
Historical Background
The World Within the Text
The World in Front of the Text
The Consumers Needs
The cyborg, or post-human exists within the world within the text, as in Battlestar Galactica, and the world in front of the text, as in the Mormon Transhumanist Association. Both sets of data create their own construction of "the human" by means of signifing different concepts and attributing meaning in different ways; making the cyborg exist in the Trans of Between.
But how do Battlestar Galactica and the Mormon Transhumanist Association construct "the human"?
