Discussion spans the range of Levi's works - from testimony to journalism, from essays to science fiction stories - identifying and tracing multiple narratives of embodiment and disembodiment across his oeuvre. These narratives range from the abject, disembodied condition of prisoners in Auschwitz, to posthuman or cyborg individuals, whose bodies merge with technological devices. Levi's representations of bodies are explored in relation to theories of Routledge studies in twentieth-century literature ;16.Holocaust survivors' writingsHistory and criticismHuman body in literatureMind and body in literatureHumanity in literatureTechnology in literatureHuman body (Philosophy)Holocaust survivors' writingsHistory and criticism.Human body in literature.Mind and body in literature.Humanity in literature.Technology in literature.Human body (Philosophy)853/.914Ross Charlotte1974-522758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910511509903321Primo Levi's narratives of embodiment825646UNINA
