Conclusion: Speculative Medicine, Speculative Fictions.Removing an organ from one (typically dead) body and placing it in another living body challenges our most foundational ideas about boundaries between self and other, individual and social identity, life and death, health and illness. But despite these transgressions, organ transplant is a celebrated and relatively common procedure. Transplant Fictions brings together a diverse set of cultural representations to understand how we have overcome the profound ideological violations represented by organ exchange in order to reimagine the concept and practice as technological and moral victories. From the plots of horror stories and sci-fi novels to sentimental romances and feel-good media reports of stranger donation, this cultural study offers a nuanced portrait of the conceptual journey of organ exchange from strange and terrible to the "gift of life.".Palgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine,2634-6443LiteratureHistory and criticismFictionEuropean literatureLiterary HistoryFiction LiteratureEuropean LiteratureLiteratureHistory and criticism.Fiction.European literature.Literary History.Fiction Literature.European Literature.362.1783823.0093561Russell Emilyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1228834BOOK9910484922403321Transplant Fictions2852853UNINA01177nas 2200385 c 450 991089335470332120260218113058.02443-8030(CKB)5280000000195191(DE-101)1076629350(DE-599)ZDB2834835-7(DE-599)2834835-7(EXLCZ)99528000000019519120150917a20159999 |y |engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEuropean economy[...]Economic briefsEuropean Commission, Directorate-General for Economic and Financial AffairsBrussels2015-Online-RessourceGesehen am 28.08.2018European economy <Luxembourg> / Economic briefsEuropean Economy Economic BriefsMonografische Reihegnd-content330Europäische KommissionGeneraldirektion Wirtschaft und Finanzenisb0355DE-1019999JOURNAL9910893354703321European economy464663UNINA
