Foucault's Monsters and the Challenge of Law

More about the book

Exploring the legal category of "monster," this book delves into both theoretical and historical contexts to examine contemporary societal anxieties related to transsexuals, conjoined twins, and transgenic humans. By analyzing how these identities challenge traditional legal frameworks, it sheds light on the intersections of law, identity, and societal norms, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the implications of labeling and the evolving understanding of human diversity.
