What is a face and how does it relate to personhood? Approaching
Facial Difference: Past and Present offers an interdisciplinary
exploration of the many ways in which faces have been represented
in the past and present, focusing on the issue of facial difference
and disfigurement read in the light of shifting ideas of beauty and
ugliness. Faces are central to all human social interactions, yet
their study has been much overlooked by disability scholars and
historians of medicine alike. By examining the main linguistic,
visual and material approaches to the face from antiquity to
contemporary times, contributors place facial diversity at the
heart of our historical and cultural narratives. This cutting-edge
collection of essays will be an invaluable resource for humanities
scholars working across history, literature and visual culture, as
well as modern practitioners in education and psychology.
