Dubious Equalities and Embodied Differences explores cosmetic
surgery as a cultural phenomenon of late modernity. From its onset
as a medical specialty at the end of the nineteenth century,
cosmetic surgery has been intimately liked to discourses of
'normalcy,' as well as to gender, race, and other categories of
difference that have shaped its technologies and techniques, its
professional ideologies, and the objects of its interventions.
Davis considers how cosmetic surgery is taken up in representations
of cosmetic surgery in medical discourse and in popular culture,
drawing on a wide range of cultural manifestations including
televised 'infotainment,' popular music, performance art, surgeon
biographies, stories of patients, public debates, and medical
texts. Davis critically engages with the notion of cosmetic surgery
as a neutral technology and shows how it is implicated in the
surgical erasure of embodied difference.
