Exploring the Gothic mode in literature, film, and science, this book delves into the unsettling nature of transplantation as it blurs the lines between self and other, life and death. It examines representations of hybrid bodies and precarious lives, particularly in the context of neoliberal late capitalism, from the nineteenth century to contemporary times. Through this lens, it reveals the complexities and implications of transplantation practices in shaping identities and societal values.
