- Encompassing some of the most recent academic research on mainstream issues of body image, weight and representation of the body, this collection addresses the body in areas such as ancient Greek poetry, new media art, comic book culture and biotechnology. -- Cross-disciplinary in their approach, the essays in this collection investigate the limits, the politics and the ethics surrounding corporeal change and aim to examine ways in which "flesh" has been re-conceptualized in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century.
- "This is the time of the corpse, the comatose body, the cosmetically enhanced body and the chimera ...This collection of essays insightfully explores the gendered, the mythological, the medical, the mutated, and the avatar body." - STELARC, Chair in Performance Arts, Brunel University West London and Senior Research Fellow, MARCS, University of Western Sydney "An amazing collection of essays on locating the body - in art, medicine, culture, and theory - with a serious attempt to engage all our theoretical as well as pragmatic interests as owners and operators of bodies." - Sander L. Gilman, Distinguished Professor of the Liberal Arts and Sciences, Emory University.
