Summary

"So much literature in the cultural study of science and medicine has been devoted to the body, but what is a child body? Claudia Castaneda broaches this important question, presenting new and compelling ways of understanding constructions of the child in colonial and neocolonial culture, theory, and history. "Figurations "is an astute reading of the child figure as it is informed by medical and scientific discourses. Especially significant is Castaneda's focus on the transnational dynamics that have shaped postwar medical and humanitarian discourses on the child. "--Lisa Cartwright, author of "Screening the Body: Tracing Medicine's Visual Culture"

Author Biography
