Description

This Routledge book examines the contradictions inherent in how modern society views and treats the human body. Francisco Ortega explores the paradox at the heart of contemporary culture: the body simultaneously represents natural certainty yet serves as a site for transformation and reinvention. He analyses how the body functions as both an object of worship and disgust, desire and design, revealing the tensions between bodily practices and cultural attitudes. The work investigates how the body has become a screen for projecting our self-conceptions whilst also remaining an object of suspicion, anxiety and discomfort. Published by Birkbeck Law Press under Routledge, this scholarly work addresses corporeal asceticism and the complex relationship between medicine, technology and embodied human experience in contemporary culture.
