Sommario/riassunto

A murderer’s hands are transplanted onto an innocent pianist, an asexual child’s life is threatened by the world of sex and what really happens when pregnancy takes over a woman’s body? Marginalization, eating disorders, altered bodies, breastfeeding, silent films, the truth behind angels and zombies, these topics are all explored in this exciting volume. Where do we draw the line between ‘the body’ and ‘the other’? What does it really mean to meld the body with the biomechanical? Taking evidence from popular culture and well-known theorists worldwide, Bigger Than Bones explores how we are more than just our skeletal blueprint, that the body – and the perceptions of the



body – give way to many layers of debate and inquiry. From being displaced by left-handedness to obtaining wings made from the dead, this collection provides a wide variety of material focused on the body’s transformation, as well as the horror and the gifts it brings.
