If so, what happens when the face connected to the self is gone forever-or replaced? In Face/On, Sharrona Pearl investigates the stakes for changing the face-and the changing stakes for the face-in both contemporary society and the sciences. The first comprehensive cultural study of face transplant surgery, Face/On reveals our true relationships to faces and facelessness, explains the significance we place on facial manipulation, and decodes how we understand loss, reconstruction, and transplantation of the face. To achieve this, Pearl draws on a vast array of sources: bioethical and medical reports, newspaper and television coverage, performances by pop culture icons, hospital records, personal interviews, films, and military files. She argues that we are on the cusp of a new ethics, in an opportune moment for reframing essentialist ideas about appearance in favor of a more expansive form of interpersonal interaction. Accessibly written and respectfully illustrated, Face/On offers a new perspective on face transplant surgery as a way to consider the self and its representation as constantly present and evolving. Highly interdisciplinary, this study will appeal to anyone wishing to know more about critical interventions into recent medicine, makeover culture, and the beauty industry. 606 $aFace$xSurgery 606 $aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc$xSocial aspects 615 0$aFace$xSurgery. 615 0$aTransplantation of organs, tissues, etc.$xSocial aspects. 676 $a617.5/20592 700 $aPearl$b Sharrona, $01826872 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009390503321 996 $aFace$94394874 997 $aUNINA
