   |  |medical innovation that has of-
   |  |fered the potential to enhance-
   |  | and save lives since the firs-
   |  |t successful procedure in the -
   |  |1950s. Subsequent developments-
   |  | in scientific knowledge and a-
   |  |dvances in surgical techniques-
   |  | have allowed for more efficie-
   |  |nt and refined procurement, mi-
   |  |nimal surgical complications, -
   |  |and increased success rate. Ho-
   |  |wever, procedures such as orga-
   |  |n transplantation raise questi-
   |  |ons about the nature of our re-
   |  |lationship with our own bodies-
   |  |; about our embodiment and per-
   |  |sonal and corporeal identity. -
   |  | This book is comprised of aca-
   |  |demic essays, personal reflect-
   |  |ions, and creative writing fro-
   |  |m researchers and artists invo-
   |  |lved in an ongoing collaborati-
   |  |ve art-science project about t-
   |  |he experience and culture of h-
   |  |eart transplantation. The writ-
   |  |ings and reflections included -
   |  |discuss embodiment, what it me-
   |  |ans to inhabit a body and defi-
   |  |ne oneself in relation to it, -
   |  |including struggles with ident-
   |  |ity formation; set in both cli-
   |  |nical and private spaces.  The-
   |  | uniqueness of this volume con-
   |  |sists in the authors\' aim of c-
   |  |onnecting the specific experie-
   |  |nce of heart transplantation t-
   |  |o the more widely shared exper-
   |  |ience of relating to the world-
   |  | and one another through the b-
   |  |ody\'s physical, perceived, and-
   |  | imagined boundaries. Such bou-
   |  |ndaries and the commonly held -
   |  |beliefs in personal autonomy t-
   |  |hat are associated with them a-
   |  |re a subject of ongoing philos-
   |  |ophical and scientific debate.-
   |  | What\'s more, the resources of-
   |  | art and culture, including po-
   |  |pular culture, literature, his-
   |  |torical and contemporary art, -
   |  |are extremely useful in revisi-
   |  |ng our views of what it means -
   |  |for the body\'s boundaries to b-
   |  |e philosophically \'leaky.\'  Fo-
   |  |llowing the discussion initiat-
   |  |ed by contributor Margrit Shil-
   |  |drick, this book contributes t-
   |  |o the field of inquiry of the -
   |  |phenomenon of embodiment and i-
   |  |nter-corporeality, the growing-
   |  | body of literature emerging f-
   |  |rom collaborative art-science -
   |  |research projects, and the wid-
   |  |er area of disability studies.-
   |  | This book will be of particul-
   |  |ar interest to those with pers-
   |  |onal, scholarly, and creative -
   |  |interests in the experience of-
   |  | transplantation, or illness i-
   |  |n general."－－▼cProvided by publisher.
