The very existence and "naturalness" of this pain has been instrumental in modern science's ability to create prosthetic technologies that many feel have transformative, self-actualizing, and even transcendent power. In Phantom Limb, Cassandra S. Crawford critically examines phantom limb pain and its relationship to prosthetic innovation, tracing the major shifts in knowledge of the causes and characteristics of the phenomenon. Crawford exposes how the meanings of phantom limb pain have been influenced by developments in prosthetic science and ideas about the extraordinary power of these technologies to liberate and fundamentally alter the human body, mind, and spirit. Through intensive observation at a prosthetic clinic, interviews with key researchers and clinicians, and an analysis of historical and contemporary psychological and medical literature, she examines the modernization of amputation and exposes how medical understanding about phantom limbs has changed from the late-19th to the early-21st century. Crawford interrogates the impact of advances in technology, medicine, psychology and neuroscience, as well as changes in the meaning of limb loss, popular representations of amputees, and corporeal ideology. Phantom Limb questions our most deeply held ideas of what is normal, natural, and even moral about the physical human body. Cassandra S. Crawford is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northern Illinois University and a faculty associate in Women's Studies and in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Studies."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1.Introduction: ghost in the machine -- 2.Characterizing phantoms: features of phantom limb syndrome -- 3.From pleasure to pain: accounting for the rise and fall in phantom pain -- 4.Phantoms in the mind: the psychogenic origins of ethereal appendages -- 5.Phantoms in the brain: the holy grail of neuroscience -- 6.Phantom-prosthetic relations: the modernization of amputation -- 7.Conclusion: authenticity and extinction. 650 0 $a Prosthesis. 650 0 $a Phantom limb. 650 12 $a Phantom Limb. $0 (DNLM)D010591 650 22 $a Amputation. $0 (DNLM)D000671 650 22 $a Amputees. $0 (DNLM)D000674 650 7 $a MEDICAL $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Phantom limb. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060079 650 7 $a Prosthesis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079519 650 7 $a Phantom. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Phantomschmerz $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4174127-4 650 7 $a Prothese $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4047540-2 830 0 $a Biopolitics (New York, N.Y.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021011420.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F837C90840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
