In Trans*, Jack Halberstam explores these recent shifts in the meaning of the gendered body and representation.

But while the digital generation can be forgiven for thinking the dispute between, for example, the publishing industry and Google is completely new, the copyright wars in fact stretch back three centuries - and their history is essential to understanding today's battles.
