While religious, scientific, and literary discourses privileged hands as sites of physiognomic information, none of these found plausible explanations for what these body parts could convey about ethnicity. As compensation for this absence, which might betray the fact that race was not actually inscribed on the body, fin-de-siecle narratives sought to generate models for how non-white hands might offer crucial means of identifying and theorizing racial identity. They removed hands from a holistic corporeal context and allowed them to circulate independently from the body to which they originally belonged. Severed hands consequently served as 'human tools' that could be put to use in a number of political, aesthetic, and ideological contexts"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-213) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- The case of the blank hand : race and manual legibility -- Potters and prosthetics : putting Indian hands to work -- The mummy's hand : art and evolution -- A hand for a hand : punishment, responsibility, and imperial desire -- Crimes of the hand : manual violence and the Congo. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103100 650 0 $a Race in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94008443 650 0 $a Hand in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh97004391 650 7 $a Imperialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968142 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Hand in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00950873 650 7 $a Race in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086506 650 7 $a Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Roman. $0 (DE-588)4050479-7 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kurzgeschichte. $0 (DE-588)4033842-3 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Hand. $0 (DE-588)4192716-3 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Rasse. $0 (DE-588)4254018-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ethnische IdentitaÌt. $0 (DE-588)4543530-3 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Engelska romaner $x historia. $2 sao 650 7 $a Rasrelationer i litteraturen. $2 sao 650 7 $a HaÌnder i litteraturen. $2 sao 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 648 7 $a 1800-talet $2 sao 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ; $v 102. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n93035018 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017020954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05E12020E55511E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
