Description

Explore the complex relationship between the human body and modern medical advancements in Corporeality, Medical Technologies and Contemporary Culture. Published by Birkbeck Law Press and distributed by Routledge, this book investigates the contradictions found in how we perceive and treat our physical selves. Francisco Ortega examines the body as a site of constant tension. It serves as our primary connection to the certainties of nature, yet it is also the main target for those seeking transformation and reinvention. The text looks at how the body is simultaneously worshipped and despised, acting as both an object of desire and a subject of design. Readers will find a deep analysis of how the body functions as a screen for our personal ideas and imaginings. The book also addresses the ways in which the body can become a source of suspicion, anxiety, and discomfort in contemporary society. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of medical technology, law, and social science.
