Medial Bodies between Fiction and Faction

Beschreibung

This collection investigates corporeal transformations alert to transdisciplinary perspectives, focusing on the understanding of the »medial body« as a transitional environment between fiction and faction.
In the past decades, developments in the fields of medicine, new media, and biotechnologies challenged many representations and practices, questioning the understanding of our corporeal limits. Using concrete examples from literary fiction, media studies, philosophy, performance arts, and social sciences, this collection underlines how bodily models and transformations, thought until recently to be only fictional products, have become a part of our reality. The essays provide a spectrum of perspectives on how the body emerges as a transitional environment between fictional and factual elements, a process understood as faction.
