At the Borders of the Human: Beasts, Bodies and Natural Philosophy in the Early Modern Period
Erica Fudge-Susan Wiseman-Ruth Gilbert
What is, what was the human? The development of Renaissance technologies of difference such as mapping, colonialism and anatomy paradoxically also illuminated the similarities between human and non-human. It examines border creatures (hermaphrodites, wildmen and cyborgs) and border practices (science, surveying and pornography).
