Saving Face: Disfigurement and the Politics of Appearance
Heather Laine Talley
Imagine yourself without a face - the task seems impossible. The face is a core feature of our physical identity. Our face is how others identify us and how we think of our 'self'. This book examines the cultural meaning and social significance of interventions aimed at repairing faces defined as disfigured.
