At the Borders of the Human: Beasts, Bodies and Natural Philosophy in the Early Modern Period
What is, what was the human? The development of Renaissance technologies of difference such as mapping, colonialism and anatomy paradoxically also illuminated the similarities between human and non-human. It examines border creatures (hermaphrodites, wildmen and cyborgs) and border practices (science, surveying and pornography).
