| Sumario: | Hauptbeschreibung 'Phantasmatic Knowledge' investigates changing anthropological visions as they were negotiated in late Victorian and early twentieth century literature. It starts from the assumption that in nineteenth century scientific discourse, a human being can only be accepted as fully human if it is visually perceived as human. One of the scientific genres to 'produce' and normalize man in the late nineteenth century is the case study, so the first part of the book analyses three notorious 'cases' of late Victorian London, Joseph Merrick, the so-called ""Elephant Man"", Jack the Ripper. |
