Amputation in Literature and Film: Artificial Limbs, Prosthetic
Relations, and the Semiotics of "Loss" explores the many ways in
which literature and film have engaged with the subject of
amputation. The scholars featured in this volume draw upon a wide
variety of texts, both lesser-known and canonical, across
historical periods and language traditions to interrogate the
intersections of disability studies with social, political,
cultural, and philosophical concerns. Whether focusing on ancient
texts by Zhuangzi or Ovid, renaissance drama, folktales collected
by the Brothers Grimm, novels or silent film, the chapters in this
volume highlight the dialectics of "loss" and "gain" in narratives
of amputation to encourage critical dialogue and forge an
integrated, embodied understanding of experiences of impairment in
which mind and body, metaphor and materiality, theory and politics
are considered as interrelated and interacting aspects of
disability and ability.
