La Passion Du Corps: Des Mythes À La Chirurgie Esthétique (EPUB)

This EPUB edition explores how ancient myths continue to shape contemporary questions about the appearance of the body and the changes that can be made to it. The author, a confirmed aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon, draws on myths from the most ancient to the most contemporary to examine the ambiguities that drive people to modify their bodies and to relativise the impact of physical beauty.

The book considers the suffering that underlies an aggressive approach to body modification and argues for an ethics of aesthetics. It also examines how the "augmented," patched-up or chimerically grafted individual is conditioned by the image of media icons, recalling the importance of myths in the contemporary world.
