Reviews

The Transparent Body is significant not simply because the issues it addresses are timely, but also because it develops a sophisticated critical perspective on a nexus of disciplinary practices: new media, film, literary and cultural studies, biology, and, of course, critical studies of the body. --T. Hugh Crawford, Georgia Institute of Technology


[A] forceful and haunting critique. JAS Review of Books
