Body Utopianism: Prosthetic Being Between Enhancement and Estrangement - Palgrave Studies in Utopianism
Franziska Bork Petersen
This book investigates how desires to transform our bodies can bring utopia to the present, and how utopian practices often lead to distinctly dystopian or anti-utopian outcomes. Techniques and technologies to transform our bodies are increasingly accessible and suggest an excessive identification of the body as lacking.
