Your organs are failing and require replacement. If you had the choice, would you prefer organs from other humans or non-human animals, or would you choose a 'cybernetic' medical implant?Using a range of social science methods and drawing on the sociology of the body and embodiment, biomedicine and technology, this book asks what happens to who we are (our identity) when we change what we are (our bodies)? From surveying young adults about whether they would choose options such as 3-D bioprinting, living or deceased human donation, or non-human animal or implantable biomechanical devices, to interviewing those who live with an implantable cardiac defibrillator, Haddow invites us to think about what kind of relationship we have with our bodies. She concludes that the reliance on 'cybernetic' medical devices create 'everyday cyborgs' who can experience alienation and new forms of vulnerability at implantation and activation.Embodiment and everyday cyborgs invites readers to consider the relationship between personal identity and the body, between humans and non-human animals, and our increasing dependency on 'smart' implantable technology. The creation of new techno-organic hybrid bodies makes us acutely aware of our own bodies and how ambiguous the experience of embodiment actually is. It is only through understanding how modifications such as transplantation, amputation and implantation make our bodies a 'presence' to us, Haddow argues, that we realise our everyday experience of our bodies as an absence. 410 0$aInscriptions (Manchester University Press) 517 $aEmbodiment and everyday cyborgs 606 $aCybernetics 606 $aImplants, Artificial 610 $abiomedicine. 610 $abody modification. 610 $acartesian dualism. 610 $acybernetic system. 610 $acyborgs. 610 $aidentity. 610 $aorgan transplantation. 610 $aphenomenology. 610 $asociology of the body. 610 $axenotransplantation. 615 0$aCybernetics. 615 0$aImplants, Artificial. 676 $a001.53 700 $aHaddow$b Gillian$01271536 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633944803321 996 $aEmbodiment and everyday cyborgs$92995298 997 $aUNINA
