Health and Illness by Sander L Gilman
Ours is a culture riddled with preoccupations about health and disease. This study demonstrates how images of beauty and ugliness have constructed a visual history which records the artificial boundaries that continue to divide 'healthy' bodies from ones that are ill.
Gilman tells an excellent taleJewish Chronicle Gilman offers up the ambiguity of fantasies about health and illness for discursive redemption by his readers, providing insights without judgements ... a stimulating synthetic work which reaches a new level of originality, provokes new questions and points toward further directions.
