Written by a diverse body of scholars-art historians, cultural theorists, English professors, philosophers, psychoanalysts, and sociologists from North America and Europe-these twelve peer-reviewed essays bring into conversation two intellectual giants frequently seen as antagonists and thus rarely seen together. Topics include, among others, olfaction and autopsy, autism and autosurgery, phallic power and biopolitics, the mirror stage and the panopticon, selfies and social media, the imago and the hunchback, able-ism and discursive orthopedics, the symptom and the posthuman.
