About the Book

The body is the primary environment that we inhabit, the physical border that separates our individual self from the other. Experts of science and technology have occupied themselves with the work of understanding bodies by opening them, cutting them up, modifying them, and offering description and prescriptions for them. The works that compose this volume do not depart from the preconceived understanding of what a body is and what its borders are, but instead intends to analyze all the bodies produced and performed for different biomedical practices and the a "partial connections" between them: the bodies from reproductive technologies, those that result from sex reassignment technologies or remedial surgeries, etc. This book includes reflections on questions that appears simple but is also worrying at the same time: How are bodies made? How are they modeled in practice and which are the significant attributes of true bodies? The work is divided into three parts and an epilogue. The three parts are dedicated to the study of bodies in three separate fields. The first handles bodies as objects of biomedical research, the second deals with the bodies that are constructed through those same practices, and the third is on bodies in liminal spaces of 'femininity.' The volume concludes with an epilogue from the philosopher Helen Longino.
