Remediating the body...
Thu, 09/13/2007 - 20:56 — Tom S.After reading Remediation I looked up Orlan on Google. Wow. I suppose the notion that even the body can be remediated is very postmodern. Come to think of it, I'm certain that the body has always been remediated in various ways (even through our various attachments to clothes) so it's not a matter of possible/not possible; however, the extent to which the body can now be remediated is mind boggling. Even more so, shows like Dr. 90210 and others about plastic surgery are essentially remediations about remediations.
