Embodying the Monster: Encounters with the Vulnerable Self - Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society
Margrit Shildrick
Asks why we see some bodies as monstrous or vulnerable and examines what this tells us about ideas of bodily normality and bodily perfection. Drawing on feminist theories of the body, biomedical discourse and historical data, this title argues that the response to the monstrous body has always been ambivalent.
