"In a wide-ranging argument ranging from Sumerian demons to Lucien Freud, from Syric prayer books to John Carpenter's The Thing, this book explores the ways the body has been represented through time. A response to the vertiginous increase in writings on bodily representations, it attempts to form a single coherent account of the possible forms of representation of the body."
