Dubious Equalities and Embodied Differences: Cultural Studies on Cosmetic Surgery
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. | February 11, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0742514218 | 176 pages | PDF | 9.2 Mb

Dubious Equalities and Embodied Differences considers how cosmetic surgery is taken up in representations of cosmetic surgery in medical discourse and in popular culture, drawing on a wide range of cultural manifestations including televised 'infotainment,' popular music, performance art, surgeon biographies, stories of patients, public debates, and medical texts. Davis critically engages with the notion of cosmetic surgery as a neutral technology and shows how it is implicated in the surgical erasure of embodied difference.
