"Hominids have always been obsessed with representing their own bodies. The first
"selfies" were prehistoric negative hand images and human stick figures, followed
by stone and ceramic representations of the human figure. Thousands of years later,
moving via historic art and literature to contemporary social media, the contemporary
term "selfie" was self-generated. The Body, Subject 惎bjected illuminates some "selfies."
This collection of critical essays about the fixation on the human self addresses
a multi-faceted geographic set of cultures - the Iberian Peninsula to pre-Columbian
America and Hispanic America - analyzing such representations from medical, literal
and metaphorical perspectives over centuries. Chapter contributions address the representation
of the body itself as subject, in both visual and textual manners, and illuminate
attempts at control of the environment, of perception, of behavior and of actions,
by artists and authors. Other chapters address the body as subjected to circumstance,
representing the body as affected by factors such as illness, injury, treatment and
death. These myriad effects on the body are interpreted through the brushes of painters
and the pens of authors for social and/or personal control purposes. The essays reveal
critics' insights when "selfies" are examined through a focused "lens" over a breadth
of cultures"
