The first "selfies" were prehistoric negative hand images and human stick figures, followed by stone and ceramic representations of the human figure. Thousands of years later, moving via historic art and literature to contemporary social media, the contemporary term "selfie" was self-generated. The Body, Subject & Subjected illuminates some "selfies." This collection of critical essays about the fixation on the human self addresses a multi-faceted geographic set of cultures - the Iberian Peninsula to pre-Columbian America and Hispanic America - analyzing such representations from medical, literal and metaphorical perspectives over centuries. Chapter contributions address the representation of the body itself as subject, in both visual and textual manners, and illuminate attempts at control of the environment, of perception, of behavior and of actions, by artists and authors. Other chapters address the body as subjected to circumstance, representing the body as affected by factors such as illness, injury, treatment and death. These myriad effects on the body are interpreted through the brushes of painters and the pens of authors for social and/or personal control purposes. The essays reveal critics' insights when "selfies" are examined through a focused "lens" over a breadth of cultures"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aHuman figure in art 606 $aHuman body in literature 606 $aArt, Spanish 606 $aArt, Latin American 606 $aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLatin American literature$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman figure in art. 615 0$aHuman body in literature. 615 0$aArt, Spanish. 615 0$aArt, Latin American. 615 0$aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLatin American literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a700/.456109 702 $aAndrist$b Debra D.$f1950- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466610103321 996 $aThe body, subject & subjected$92482635 997 $aUNINA
