Product details

The specialized book "Protheses" by Karin Harrasser offers a comprehensive analysis of prosthetics as a cultural and technical phenomenon. The author examines the development of prosthetics in the context of the American Civil War and highlights their role in late 19th-century society. Prosthetics are viewed not only as medical aids but also as symbols of the challenges and changes in a modernity shaped by war and consumption. The study addresses the image politics associated with prosthetics and illustrates how they oscillate between concealment and display. Readers gain insights into the interactions between technology, politics, and aesthetics that have shaped the perception of prosthetics throughout history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of prosthetics and their societal implications.
