The human body is a recurrent theme in contemporary literatures in
English. The aim of this collection of essays is to explore its
multiple representations and functions within a wide range of texts
drawn together from various Anglophone cultures. For thematic
coherence, this volume is divided into four parts: Diseased Bodies,
Invented Bodies, Gendered and Transgender Bodies, and Fragmented
and Mutilated Bodies. By adopting multi-disciplinary perspectives,
each group of essays illustrates the different ways in which these
become multiply signifying sites of cultural and political
representation, whether the mode is realistic or daringly
speculative and fantastic, as in the case of genetically designed
bodies, monstrous and machine bodies. This book contributes to
understanding the body as a culture-specific construct.
