Paperback. Condition: New. "Only skin deep," "getting under one's skin," "the naked truth": metaphors about the skin pervade the language even as physical embellishments and alterations-tattoos, piercings, skin-lifts, liposuction, tanning, and more-proliferate in Western culture. Yet outside dermatology textbooks, the topic of s…kin has been largely ignored. This important cultural study shows how our perception of skin has changed from the eighteenth century to the present. Claudia Benthien argues that despite medicine's having penetrated the bodily surface and exposed the interior of the body as never before, skin, paradoxically, has become a more and more unyielding symbol. She examines the changing significance of skin through brilliant analyses of literature, art, philosophy, and anatomical drawings and writings. Benthien discusses the semantic and psychic aspects of touching, feeling, and intellectual perception; the motifs of perforated, armored, or transparent skin; the phantasma of flaying; and much more through close readings of such authors as Kleist, Hawthorne, Balzac, Rilke, Kafka, Plath, Morrison, Wideman, and Ondaatje.Myriad images from the Renaissance, anatomy books, and contemporary visual and performance art enhance the text.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Claudia Benthien zeigt, inwieweit die Körperoberfläche sich trotz der medizinischen Durchdringung und der Offenlegung des Inneren als zunehmend rigide Grenzfläche erweist, so daß die Haut im 20. Jahrhundert gar zur zentralen Metapher des Getrenntsei…ns wird. Nur an dieser Grenze ist Begegnung möglich. Gefragt wird nach den kulturellen Ursachen für die Entstehung eines solchen Körperbildes, aber auch nach seinen fatalen Konsequenzen. Erprobt wird eine interdisziplinäre, kulturwissenschaftliche Erweiterung der Literaturwissenschaft, in der das Literarische im Sinne einer Kulturpoetik als eingebunden in verschiedene Diskurse begriffen wird: Sprache, Wissenschaft und Künste werden als Archive historischer Leibwahrnehmung verstanden.
