- This 90,000 word interdisciplinary monograph is the product of 8 years of research. It offers a cultural history of transplantation as mediated through medical writing, science fiction, life writing and visual arts in a Gothic mode from the nineteenth century to the present. Engaging with affect theory, new materialism, queer theory and biopolitics, it emphasises not only transfer technologies and the surgical moment but long durations both before and after, attending to the ‘slow violence’ of health inequality and exploitation and the long aftermath of care. Transplantation Gothic is the first monograph dedicated to examining creative representations of tissue transfer.
