Klappentext

With disturbing clarity, Disgustatory!: A Gothic Rhetoric of Consumption unpacks the dark side of modern wellness products and practices. From biohacking, to lab-grown flesh, to disordered eating, Tirrell and Maddalena trace Gothic traditions such as fear, body horror, and decay throughout society's present preoccupations with food, eating, and the body.
