This book is an interdisciplinary study of the human drama of
replacement. Is one's irreplaceability dependent on surrounding
oneself by a replication of others? Is love intrinsically
repetitious or built on a fantasy of uniqueness? The sense that a
person's value is blotted out if someone takes their place can be
seen in the serial monogamy of our age and in the lives of
'replacement children' - children born into a family that has
recently lost a child, whom they may even be named after. The book
investigates various forms of replacement, including AI and
doubling, incest and bedtricks, imposters and revenants, human
rights and 'surrogacy', and intertextuality and adaptation. The
authors highlight the emotions of betrayal, jealousy and desire
both within and across generations. On Replacement consists of 24
essays divided into seven sections: What is replacement?, Law &
society, Wayward women, Lost children, Replacement films, The
Holocaust and Psychoanalysis. The book will appeal to anyone
engaged in reading cultural and social representations of
replacement.
