The Edinburgh Companion to Science Fiction and the Medical Humanities
The first volume to interrogate the intersections between science fiction and the medical humanities Critically interrogates the technological optimism of the medical and biotechnological professions Brings science fiction into an interdisciplinary conversation across the disciplines comprising medical humanities Explores representations of medical progress from the classical and medieval worlds to the contemporary, and across a variety of media,…
The Edinburgh Companion to Science Fiction and the Medical Humanities
This book brings together a collection of exciting new work at the encounter of two interdisciplinary fields: science fiction studies and the medical humanities. The chapters tackle a wide range of issues posed by the presence of medicine, health, and disability in science fiction, and by the speculative imaginary that informs modern biomedical health care. The chapters are collected into five parts, covering: health and pathology; technologies; …
Memories of Futures: The Temporalities of Organ Transplantation
This photographic essay explores experiential meanings of haunting in deceased organ transplantation. Where life is often figured as presence and death as absence, this piece delves into how one may be both dead and alive, present and absent. In so doing, it creates space for how death may be vitality and how afterlives continue in the form of collective being. The photographic essay, as a genre, is examined as a turning towards the more-than-one…
Transplantation: Changing biotechnologies and imaginaries
This special issue explores developing understandings of the limits and possible extensions of organ and tissue transplantation. Encompassing interdisciplinary research around biomedicine, philosophy, literature and film, science and technology studies, anthropology, and transplant studies, the special issue demonstrates how our understanding of embodiment is being transformed in the age of advanced biotechnologies. As the centuries-old project o…
Living with others inside the self: Decolonising transplantation, selfhood and the body politic in Nalo Hopkinson's Brown Girl in the Ring
This article examines anxieties concerning organ transplantation in Nalo Hopkinson's prize-winning novel Brown Girl in the Ring (1998). The main focus is how this novel re-imagines subjectivity and selfhood as an embodied metaphor for the reconfiguring of broader sociopolitical relations. In other words, this article analyses the relationship between the transplanted body and the body politic, arguing that a post-transplant identity, where there …
Intimate Borders: The Ethics of Human Organ Transplantation in Contemporary Film
The image of the intruder is central to human organ transplantation rhetoric. The external, fleshy other crosses a supposedly definitive and divisive line by traversing and settling inside the epidermal layer of an other's self. While transplant teams make a putative claim that grafting is essential to the continued survival of critically ill patients, they also stress the dangers of rejection, wherein the originary body attacks the unfamiliar pr…
Intersections of Lesbian Studies and Postcolonial Studies: One Possible Future for Class
This position piece addresses the decline of class as a mode of inquiry in Lesbian Studies and Postcolonial Studies. It argues that in spite of this decline, class continues to forcibly pervade all areas of our lives and, therefore, should be fundamental to the research praxis of these fields of study. It goes on to suggest that the intersections of these two disciplines are able to open up a space where questions regarding class and its global d…
