Description

Prosthesis by David Wills is a landmark work in posthuman thought that explores the human body as a technology seamlessly integrated with prosthetics. This book lays the groundwork for ideas developed in other works, including Dorsality and Inanimation.

The author questions the opposition between animate and inanimate objects, examining how technology functions behind or before the human body. Prosthesis undertakes this analysis through a study of the writings of various thinkers, including Freud, Derrida, Gibson, Greenaway, and others.

First published twenty-five years ago, Prosthesis has become a point of reference in disability studies, known for its unique blend of academic and autobiographical voices and styles. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human body's relationship with technology and its surroundings.
