- Summary:
- In a though provoking study, independent scholar Katharine Young addresses the way the field of medicine separates body and "self", rendering the body an object and the self bodyless. From embodied positions within the realm of medicine and disembodied positions outside it, Young richly conveys the complexity of "presence in the flesh".
