The normalization of the cyborg: from futuristic artistic expression of mutilation to daily aesthetic beauty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The concept of mutilation as a permanent scarring of the integrity of the body has been overcome by the representation in visual culture of the cyborg, the bionic human and the genetically and bionically engineered mutant. Mutants with bionic prosthetics
