Surface Tensions is an expansive, yet intimate study of how people
remake themselves after catastrophic bodily change-the loss of
limbs, the loss of function, the loss or replacement of organs.
Against a sweeping cultural backdrop of art, popular culture, and
the history of science and medicine, Manderson uses narrative
epistemology based on in-depth interviews with over 300 individuals
to show how they re-establish the coherence of their bodies,
identities, and biographies. In addition to offering important new
insights into the care, rehabilitation, and rehabituation of
post-trauma patients, Manderson's work challenges conventional
ideas about the nature of embodiment and is an important
contribution to medical anthropology, disability studies, and
cultural studies.
