Description

Explore the complex history of the human body through the lens of Prosthesis in Medieval and Early Modern Culture. Published by Routledge, this scholarly collection examines how prosthesis serves as a rhetorical addition, a replacement for what is absent, and a technological mode of correction. By investigating these themes, the book reveals a deep history of corporeal and psychic discontent within pre-modern societies. While recent scholarship has utilized the concept of prosthesis as a tool for literary and cultural criticism, the study of pre-modern prosthesis is often missing from current critical discourse. This volume works to fill that gap. It reconsiders the history of prosthesis and its implications for contemporary thought, making it a necessary resource for researchers and students in anthropology, sociology, and medical history. This collection provides a new way to look at how technology and the body have interacted throughout history.
