Thesis (M.A.)--University of Toronto (Canada), 1995.

This thesis is about Western scientific discourses, present and past, that structure and vitalize corporeal knowledge. My strategy for deciphering the body is to view it through the interpretive grid of everyday technologies. The ideas and conceptual categories suggested by certain technologies mobilize new understandings about the constitution, functioning, powers and limits of the body.

520 $a This thesis is about Western scientific discourses, present and past, that structure and vitalize corporeal knowledge. My strategy for deciphering the body is to view it through the interpretive grid of everyday technologies. The ideas and conceptual categories suggested by certain technologies mobilize new understandings about the constitution, functioning, powers and limits of the body.
520 $a Every civilization, J. David Bolter writes, "possesses a characteristic set of materials, techniques and devices that help to shape its cultural outlook" (1984, p. 16). These he calls defining technologies: technologies that capture the imagination of thinkers and reform their ideas about nature. Defining technologies alter the physical means of life and establish new epistemological frameworks. Their effects are felt materially and symbolically.
520 $a In this thesis I recount the influence of three defining technologies--the manual crafts of Antiquity, the machine during the Renaissance, and the digital computer in the present--on Western scientific ideas of bodily structure and functioning. I describe the movement of technological ideas into scientific discourses and the concomitant merging of these technologies with our bodies. This thesis asks how technologies are represented linguistically, how new systems for making sense of our bodies are produced, and how the new representations/self-representations achieve the status of truth.
