Imperial contradictions: Is the Valley a watershed, region, or cyborg?

Article Abstract:

The special reproduction of environmental conditions within a cyborg world is examined by assessing whether California's Imperial Valley is a watershed and if so at what level and by what topographic logic. It is suggested that the articulation of a cyborg perspective considers the environmental conditions of the Valley as the product of relations comprised of uneven and indeterminate ecological process, technoscientific trajectories, and human practices.
