About this title

Review

"[Cuir's] soundly argued work is a brilliant addition to a series of studies that have revived the history of the body in recent years, on both sides of the Atlantic." - Prof. Yves Hersant Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales "The goal of this brilliant book is to re-establish the relationships between science and art, anatomy and biology, subject and subjectivity within a novel interpretation of body images." - Prof. Bernard Andrieu Nancy Universite"
