Add your own review!

Overview

Theorizing The Disfigured Body explores the mutilated body as signifier of possession, control and domination. It examines the interconnections between the wound and the identity of the individual and affirms that wounding is naming. This book uses war memoirs and journalistic narratives published between 1991 and 2001, in addition to personal testimonies of victims to foreground the author's argument of the body as signifier.
