Omschrijving
This groundbreaking analysis of nineteenth-century European clinical case histories of hermaphrodites shows how sex changed from an outward appearance inscribed in a social body to something to be found deep inside body and self.
"Here praxiography moves into history. The result is stunning. Learn how sexed bodies and selves-with-a-sex got crafted in 19th century western Europe. Revel in the productivity of doubt. And enjoy the intellectual pleasure throughout." Annemarie Mol, Prof. Anthropology of the Body, University of Amsterdam
